Idioms

|–|–|–| |Identifier Type| Format | | Class | CamelCase| |Variable/Function| words joined by underscore |Internal functions| prefixed by a single underscore|

Default Parameters

Using dict.get to provide default values i.e. instead of:

log_severity = None configuration.get(‘severity’, log.Info)

Avoid repeating variable names in the if statement:

i.e. if name in (“x”,“y”,“z”) instead of if name == “x” …

Use long descriptive names when necessary

Use short mnemonic names when possible

Use decomposition instead of commments

i.e. Abstract code out into a helper function

List comprehensions when possible

But not excessively
