Separate top-level function and class definitions with two blank lines.
Method definitions inside a class are separated by a single blank
line.
Extra blank lines may be used (sparingly) to separate groups of
related functions. Blank lines may be omitted between a bunch of
related one-liners (e.g. a set of dummy implementations).
Use blank lines in functions, sparingly, to indicate logical
sections.

Line too long (80 > 79 characters) Open

- Exclude checks
Limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters.
There are still many devices around that are limited to 80 character
lines; plus, limiting windows to 80 characters makes it possible to
have several windows side-by-side. The default wrapping on such
devices looks ugly. Therefore, please limit all lines to a maximum
of 79 characters. For flowing long blocks of text (docstrings or
comments), limiting the length to 72 characters is recommended.

Separate inline comments by at least two spaces.
An inline comment is a comment on the same line as a statement.
Inline comments should be separated by at least two spaces from the
statement. They should start with a # and a single space.
Each line of a block comment starts with a # and a single space
(unless it is indented text inside the comment).

Do not assign a lambda expression, use a def Open

- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Compound statements (on the same line) are generally discouraged.
While sometimes it's okay to put an if/for/while with a small body
on the same line, never do this for multi-clause statements.
Also avoid folding such long lines!
Always use a def statement instead of an assignment statement that
binds a lambda expression directly to a name.

A long parameter list can indicate that a new structure should be created to wrap the numerous parameters or that the function is doing too many things.
Noncompliant Code Example
With a maximum number of 4 parameters:
def do_something(param1, param2, param3, param4, param5): ...
Compliant Solution
def do_something(param1, param2, param3, param4): ...
Rename field "expect" Open

It's confusing to have a class member with the same name (case differences aside) as its enclosing class. This is particularly so when you consider the common practice of naming a class instance for the class itself.
Best practice dictates that any field or member with the same name as the enclosing class be renamed to be more descriptive of the particular aspect of the class it represents or holds.
Noncompliant Code Example
class Foo: foo = '' def getFoo(self): ... foo = Foo() foo.getFoo() # what does this return?
Compliant Solution
class Foo: name = '' def getName(self): ... foo = Foo() foo.getName()

Programmers should not comment out code as it bloats programs and reduces readability.
Unused code should be deleted and can be retrieved from source control history if required.

Jump statements (return
, break
, continue
, and raise
) move control flow out of the current code
block. Typically, any statements in a block that come after a jump are simply wasted keystrokes lying in wait to confuse the unwary.
Noncompliant Code Example
def fun(a): i = 10 return i + a # Noncompliant i += 1 # this is never executed
Compliant Solution
def fun(a): i = 10 return i + a

Refactor this function to reduce its Cognitive Complexity from 18 to the 15 allowed. Open

Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how hard the control flow of a function is to understand. Functions with high Cognitive Complexity will be difficult to maintain.
