Overview

This is where I collect best practices related to Python.

Setup

Python 2 or Python 3?

Python 3.[1]

Pyenv

To manage different versions of Python on your machine, use pyenv. To install see:

Once it's installed, install the version of Python you want:

$ pyenv -v
pyenv 1.2.6

$ pyenv install -l
Available versions:
  2.1.3
  2.2.3
...
  3.8-dev
  3.8.1
  3.9-dev
...
  stackless-3.4.7
  stackless-3.5.4

# Install latest stable version of Python 3. At this time: 3.8.1
$ pyenv install 3.8.1
$ pyenv global 3.8.1
$ pyenv global
3.8.1
$ python -V
3.8.1

Pip

To manage dependencies, use pip. (It is installed with pyenv.)

Project Structure

For guidance on project structure, see the following:

Style Guide

Unless otherwise noted, follow PEP 8.

  • Use spaces not tabs.
  • Indent 4 spaces.

Code Analysis

Use of a code analyzer, or linter, is strongly encouraged. We use flake8:

Notes

  1. Unless it is an existing project or absolutely depends on a package that is only compatible with Python 2. All new projects should target latest version of Python 3.
