Python Conventions

General formatting and coding

• Python uses spaces, in fact use 4-space indentation, and no tabs.
• Wrap lines so that they don’t exceed 79 characters.
• Use blank lines to separate functions and classes, and larger blocks of code inside functions.
• Generally: use PascaleCase for class names and snake_case for functions and method defs. Always use self as the name for the first argument of class methods.
• Use docstrings.
• Use spaces around operators and after commas, but not directly inside bracketing constructs: a = f(1, 2) + g(3, 4).
