For Python, we mostly adhere to standard Python style as defined in PEP8. We use four spaces for indentation. Function names are written in small_case with underscores between words, class/module names are written in CamelCase, and constants are written in ALL_CAPS. Lines are wrapped at 80 characters.
For bash, we use the -e, -u, -o pipefail options. We double-quote all variables, and place them inside curly braces (e.g., ${VARIABLE}). Our variable names are ALL_CAPS. We do not set a line length limit on bash like we do with Python.
