Python Coding Style

#CS100 → #CS199 Python

#CS100 Use PEP8

When not specified otherwise by our coding style rules, use the PEP 8 standard. Note: using Atom with the linter-flake8 linter package ensures that we respect our Python coding styles: apm install linter-flake8.

#CS101 Don't exceed 128 character for line of code

Line size is limited to 128 characters (instead of 80 in PEP8). Note: this can be modified in the Atom Settings / Packages / linter-flake8 / Max Line Length.

#CS102 Don't use PEP257 comments on all functions

We don't force PEP257 comments on all functions (especially, simple constructors, getters, setters, etc.) and therefore don't use the flake8-docstrings Atom package. However, we strongly encourage to respect this rule when it makes sense.
