This is pretty much taken straight out of PEP 8, the "Style Guide for Python
Code" (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/)
More or less, if you try to submit a patch that doesn't follow this guide, odds
are your patch will be denied...unless it does some incredibly magnificient
things, in which case I *might* edit it. Don't bet on it, though.
Here are the highlights:
Indents are FOUR (4) spaces. Not 8, not 5 or 2 and definitely NOT tab.
Limit all lines to a maximum of 80 characters.
Use UTF-8 encoding
Every single import should be on its own line
Avoid extraneous whitespace in the following situations:
Yes: spam(ham[1], {eggs: 2})
No: spam( ham[ 1 ], { eggs: 2 } )
Yes: spam(1)
No: spam (1)
Yes: if x == 4: print x, y; x, y = y, x
No: if x == 4 : print x , y ; x , y = y , x
Yes: dict['key'] = list[index]
No: dict ['key'] = list [index]
Yes:
x = 1
y = 2
long_variable = 3
No:
x = 1
y = 2
long_variable = 3
Some more recommendations:
* "Don't repeat yourself (DRY). Every distinct concept and/or piece of
data should live in one, and only one, place. Redundancy is bad.
Normalization is good." (taken straight from django's Design philosophies)
* Try to use iterators/generators where applicable. The simplest change from
range to xrange is also good.
* In UI and deluge code for consistency we use notion of speed not rate.
Libtorrent mixes this usage and so do we on deluge-libtorrent boundary,
but all deluge only code should use speed.
