Coding Style
============

In general, code should be clean, concise and readable. `The Zen of Python (PEP 20) <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/>`_ is a great introduction to best coding practices for Python.

+ Follow the `Style Guide for Python Code (PEP 8)
  <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>`__ as closely as
  reasonable.
+ Follow the `Django coding style
  <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/coding-style/>`__.
