General development guidelines

This page should contain recommendations for efficient coding. We will try to keep our coding standards as high as possible.

General

  • Commit often, even after very small bug fixes.
  • Always add a message when committing through svn. Use the -m "Your message goes here" option and describe what is new in the code.

Python

  • Use 4 space indenting instead of tabs. Provides better readability.
  • Use [pylint] on all scripts uploaded on the SVN. Try to fix as many possible issues, but do not force the perfect 10.
  • Don't use other comments, excepting the doc strings. A good code should be self-explaining. If something is not clear in a sequence written by somebody else, post a request for changes in the tickets section.
