<li>{{python-general Follow <a href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/">PEP-8</a> and the recommendations in the offical Python documentation.}}</li> |
<li>{{python-version Make the code compatible with both Python 2.7 and Python 3.5+ (see <a href="https://docs.python.org/dev/howto/pyporting.html">this guide</a>). Use <a href="https://docs.python.org/2/library/__future__.html">__future__ imports</a> to address syntactic differences but avoid <a href="https://pythonhosted.org/six/">six</a>, <a href="http://python-future.org/compatible_idioms.html">python-future</a>, etc. to not introduce additional dependencies.}}</li> |
