Is it possible to use the blackd formatter for python?

Question

Is it possible to use the blackd formatter for python in VsCode? I would like to see the performance increase from using blackd if possible.

From the Docs

blackd is a small HTTP server that exposes Black’s functionality over a simple protocol. The main benefit of using it is to avoid paying the cost of starting up a new Black process every time you want to blacken a file.
