Never use the characters 'l', 'O', or 'I' as variable names.

In some fonts, these characters are indistinguishable from the
numerals one and zero. When tempted to use 'l', use 'L' instead.

Okay: L = 0
Okay: o = 123
Okay: i = 42
E741: l = 0
E741: O = 123
E741: I = 42

Variables can be bound in several other contexts, including class
and function definitions, 'global' and 'nonlocal' statements,
exception handlers, and 'with' and 'for' statements.
In addition, we have a special handling for function parameters.

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.

Reports error E501.

Each comma, semicolon or colon should be followed by whitespace.

Continuation lines indentation.

Continuation lines should align wrapped elements either vertically
using Python's implicit line joining inside parentheses, brackets
and braces, or using a hanging indent.

When using a hanging indent these considerations should be applied:
- there should be no arguments on the first line, and
- further indentation should be used to clearly distinguish itself
  as a continuation line.

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.
