Nova Client Style Commandments
==============================
- Step 1: Read the OpenStack Style Commandments
https://docs.openstack.org/hacking/latest
- Step 2: Read on
Nova Client Specific Commandments
---------------------------------
None so far
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)
Running Tests
-------------
The testing system is based on a combination of tox and testr. If you just
want to run the whole suite, run `tox` and all will be fine. However, if
you'd like to dig in a bit more, you might want to learn some things about
testr itself. A basic walkthrough for OpenStack can be found at
http://wiki.openstack.org/testr
