Coding Standards (and Best Practices)

Hi,

I am fairily new to Python, but I am really liking what I am seeing. My team
is going to re-design some automation projects, and we were going to use
Python as our programming language. One of the things we would like to do,
since we are all new to the language, is to define a set of guidelines and
best practices as our coding standards.

Does anyone know where I can get some information about what the community
is doing? Are there any well defined guidelines established?

Cheers,

Besides PEP8, there is also the library code itself. When reading that
though, keep in mind that different modules were written by different
people at different times. Some were written before PEP8.

and you may also be interested by a tool such as pylint[1] which help to
enforce coding standards on your code base. Most of the styles suggested
in pep 8 are checked by pylint, using its default configuration.
