Python Coding Conventions

Naming Conventions

• Use snake_case for variables and functions
• Use PascalCase for class names
• Use UPPERCASE for constants

Code Style

• Follow PEP 8 style guidelines
• Limit line length to 88 characters (Black formatter standard)
• Use type hints for function signatures

Best Practices

• Use list comprehensions for simple transformations
• Prefer f-strings for string formatting
• Use context managers (with statements) for resource management

# Avoid
file = open('data.txt')
content = file.read()
file.close()

# Prefer
with open('data.txt') as file:
    content = file.read()
