Description
When first starting to contribute to django, 205 test errors out (FAILED (errors=205, skipped=1827, expected failures=5)
) with the following stacktrace:
`
ERROR: test_makemessages_no_settings (i18n.test_extraction.NoSettingsExtractionTests.test_makemessages_no_settings)
Traceback (most recent call last):

`
When find_formatters return a black_path that is None (shutil.which("black") is None, meaning black is not installed).
I suggest raising a better error message by catching this in find_formatters directly and/or adding black to tests/requirements/py3.py.
