Oslo Style Commandments
=======================
- Step 1: Read the OpenStack Style Commandments
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/hacking/
- Step 2: Read on
Oslo Specific Commandments
--------------------------
- None So Far
General
-------
- When defining global constants, define them before functions and classes
- Use 'raise' instead of 'raise e' to preserve original traceback or exception being reraised::
except Exception as e:
...
raise e # BAD
except Exception:
...
raise # OKAY
TODO vs FIXME
-------------
- TODO(name): implies that something should be done (cleanup, refactoring,
etc), but is expected to be functional.
- FIXME(name): implies that the method/function/etc shouldn't be used until
that code is resolved and bug fixed.
Text encoding
-------------
- All text within python code should be of type 'unicode'.
WRONG:
>>> s = 'foo'
>>> s
'foo'
>>> type(s)
<type 'str'>
RIGHT:
>>> u = u'foo'
>>> u
u'foo'
>>> type(u)
<type 'unicode'>
- Transitions between internal unicode and external strings should always
be immediately and explicitly encoded or decoded.
- All external text that is not explicitly encoded (database storage,
commandline arguments, etc.) should be presumed to be encoded as utf-8.
WRONG:
mystring = infile.readline()
myreturnstring = do_some_magic_with(mystring)
outfile.write(myreturnstring)
RIGHT:
mystring = infile.readline()
mytext = s.decode('utf-8')
returntext = do_some_magic_with(mytext)
returnstring = returntext.encode('utf-8')
outfile.write(returnstring)
