Lily's Nuanced Python Style

This style guide elaborates on pycode-style.

When to use quotes...

  • ''' is for string values.
  • """ is for docstrings.
  • ' is the default for strings.
  • " when the string contains an apostrophe '.

Constants

Constants should come right after imports, with one line of blank space between like so:

import os
import sys

A_NICE_CONSTANT = 'Wow this is a nice constant'
