Coding style
This page contains different style guides for the languages we use.
PEP8 by Guido van Rossum is a good style guide: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
We handle some things differently though:
- Tabs only, no spaces.
- Line length: We don't comply strictly with the 79 characters. Usually we try to stay around 90 columns per line.
When dealing with strings, please use [PEP-3101] (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3101/)
preferred '{foo}'.format(foo=foo) syntax instead of the binary '%s' % foo operator.
[Nice examples on {foo}.format usage]
