- Everything should comply with PEP8. Code should pass
  ``pep8 --max-line-length=100`` without any warnings.

- **Indenting**:

  - NEVER tabs. 4 spaces to indent.

  - follow PEP8; either hanging indent or multiline-visual indent depending
    on the size and shape of the arguments and what makes more sense to the
    author. In other words, both this::

      print("I am a fish %s" % "moo")

    and this::

      print("I am a fish %s" %
            "moo")

      and this::

        print(
            "I am a fish %s" %
            "moo",
        )

    ...are valid, although given each one takes up 2x more vertical space than
    the previous, it's up to the author's discretion as to which layout makes
    most sense for their function invocation.  (e.g. if they want to add
    comments per-argument, or put expressions in the arguments, or group
    related arguments together, or want to deliberately extend or preserve
    vertical/horizontal space)

- **Line length**:

  Max line length is 79 chars (with flexibility to overflow by a "few chars" if
  the overflowing content is not semantically significant and avoids an
  explosion of vertical whitespace).

  Use parentheses instead of ``\`` for line continuation where ever possible
  (which is pretty much everywhere).

- **Naming**:

  - Use camel case for class and type names
  - Use underscores for functions and variables.

- Use double quotes ``"foo"`` rather than single quotes ``'foo'``.

- **Blank lines**:

  - There should be max a single new line between:

    - statements
    - functions in a class

  - There should be two new lines between:

    - definitions in a module (e.g., between different classes)

- **Whitespace**:

  There should be spaces where spaces should be and not where there shouldn't
  be:

  - a single space after a comma
  - a single space before and after for '=' when used as assignment
  - no spaces before and after for '=' for default values and keyword arguments.

- **Comments**: should follow the `google code style
  <http://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html?showone=Comments#Comments>`_.
  This is so that we can generate documentation with `sphinx
  <http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_. See the
  `examples

  in the sphinx documentation.
