This styleguide is a requirement for Patches to Flask and a +recommendation for Flask extensions. + +In general the Pocoo Styleguide closely follows :pep:`8` with some small +differences and extensions. + +General Layout +-------------- + +Indentation: + 4 real spaces. No tabs, no exceptions. + +Maximum line length: + 79 characters with a soft limit for 84 if absolutely necessary. Try + to avoid too nested code by cleverly placing `break`, `continue` and + `return` statements. + +Continuing long statements: + To continue a statement you can use backslashes in which case you should + align the next line with the last dot or equal sign, or indent four + spaces:: + + this_is_a_very_long(function_call, 'with many parameters') \ + .that_returns_an_object_with_an_attribute + + MyModel.query.filter(MyModel.scalar > 120) \ + .order_by(MyModel.name.desc()) \ + .limit(10) + + If you break in a statement with parentheses or braces, align to the + braces:: + + this_is_a_very_long(function_call, 'with many parameters', + 23, 42, 'and even more') + + For lists or tuples with many items, break immediately after the + opening brace:: + + items = [ + 'this is the first', 'set of items', 'with more items', + 'to come in this line', 'like this' + ] + +Blank lines: + Top level functions and classes are separated by two lines, everything + else by one. Do not use too many blank lines to separate logical + segments in code. Example:: + + def hello(name): + print 'Hello %s!' % name + + + def goodbye(name): + print 'See you %s.' % name + + + class MyClass(object): + """This is a simple docstring""" + + def __init__(self, name): + self.name = name + + def get_annoying_name(self): + return self.name.upper() + '!!!!111' + +Expressions and Statements +-------------------------- + +General whitespace rules: + - No whitespace for unary operators that are not words + (e.g.: ``-``, ``~`` etc.) as well on the inner side of parentheses. + - Whitespace is placed between binary operators. + + Good:: + + exp = -1.05 + value = (item_value / item_count) * offset / exp + value = my_list[index] + value = my_dict['key'] + + Bad:: + + exp = - 1.05 + value = ( item_value / item_count ) * offset / exp + value = (item_value/item_count)*offset/exp + value=( item_value/item_count ) * offset/exp + value = my_list[ index ] + value = my_dict ['key'] + +Yoda statements are a no-go: + Never compare constant with variable, always variable with constant: + + Good:: + + if method == 'md5': + pass + + Bad:: + + if 'md5' == method: + pass + +Comparisons: + - against arbitrary types: ``==`` and ``!=`` + - against singletons with ``is`` and ``is not`` (eg: ``foo is not + None``) + - never compare something with `True` or `False` (for example never + do ``foo == False``, do ``not foo`` instead) + +Negated containment checks: + use ``foo not in bar`` instead of ``not foo in bar`` + +Instance checks: + ``isinstance(a, C)`` instead of ``type(A) is C``, but try to avoid + instance checks in general. Check for features. + + +Naming Conventions +------------------ + +- Class names: ``CamelCase``, with acronyms kept uppercase (``HTTPWriter`` + and not ``HttpWriter``) +- Variable names: ``lowercase_with_underscores`` +- Method and function names: ``lowercase_with_underscores`` +- Constants: ``UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES`` +- precompiled regular expressions: ``name_re`` + +Protected members are prefixed with a single underscore. Double +underscores are reserved for mixin classes. + +On classes with keywords, trailing underscores are appended. Clashes with +builtins are allowed and **must not** be resolved by appending an +underline to the variable name. If the function needs to access a +shadowed builtin, rebind the builtin to a different name instead. + +Function and method arguments: + - class methods: ``cls`` as first parameter + - instance methods: ``self`` as first parameter + - lambdas for properties might have the first parameter replaced + with ``x`` like in ``display_name = property(lambda x: x.real_name + or x.username)`` + + +Docstrings +---------- + +Docstring conventions: + All docstrings are formatted with reStructuredText as understood by + Sphinx. Depending on the number of lines in the docstring, they are + laid out differently. If it's just one line, the closing triple + quote is on the same line as the opening, otherwise the text is on + the same line as the opening quote and the triple quote that closes + the string on its own line:: + + def foo(): + """This is a simple docstring""" + + + def bar(): + """This is a longer docstring with so much information in there + that it spans three lines. In this case the closing triple quote + is on its own line. + """ + +Module header: + The module header consists of an utf-8 encoding declaration (if non + ASCII letters are used, but it is recommended all the time) and a + standard docstring:: + + # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- + """ + package.module + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + A brief description goes here. + + :copyright: (c) YEAR by AUTHOR. + :license: LICENSE_NAME, see LICENSE_FILE for more details. + """ + + Please keep in mind that proper copyrights and license files are a + requirement for approved Flask extensions. + + +Comments +-------- + +Rules for comments are similar to docstrings. Both are formatted with +reStructuredText. If a comment is used to document an attribute, put a +colon after the opening pound sign (``#``):: + + class User(object): + #: the name of the user as unicode string + name = Column(String) + #: the sha1 hash of the password + inline salt + pw_hash = Column(String) |
