Black cannot parse list unpacking

[ThGaskin]

Describe the bug

The following snippet blocks git commits:

 # Get the counts and the bin centres
 counts, bin_centres = np.take(res, 0, axis=axis), np.take(res, 1, axis=axis)
 sel = [0] * len(np.shape(bin_centres))
 sel[axis] = None
 bin_centres = bin_centres[*sel].flatten() # <---- Error!

with error

error: cannot format model_plots/data_ops.py: Cannot parse: 462:30: bin_centres = bin_centres[*sel].flatten()

• Black's version: black==23.10.1
• OS and Python version:macOS Ventura 13.4.1, Python 3.11.6

[JelleZijlstra]

Note this is new syntax in Python 3.11, introduced by PEP 646. See python/cpython#31018 for the Python grammar changes; we'll need something similar.

I cannot reproduce. Black already fully supports PEP 646 as far as I can tell, see https://github.com/psf/black/pull/3071/files/ Are you sure you're using 23.10.1?

λ cat xx.py
counts, bin_centres = np.take(res, 0, axis=axis), np.take(res, 1, axis=axis)
sel = [0] * len(np.shape(bin_centres))
sel[axis] = None
bin_centres = bin_centres[*sel].flatten() # <---- Error!

Oh no! 💥 💔 💥
1 file would be reformatted.

Also can't repro.

Also can't reproduce, so closing.

It's possible there's another syntax issue later in the file that makes Black try falling back to a grammar without PEP 646 support, though I can't reproduce that either.

The error occurs when committing via git:

Oh no! 💥 💔 💥

When I run black path/to/file it reformats the file just fine.

@ThGaskin is the pre-commit hook running a different version/configuration of black? Could you share the full file file or try to isolate the issue and share a minimal snippet where it reproduces?
