Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] docs/manual: PEP8 coding style for Python scripts
Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2017 22:33:56 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170424013356.2228-1-ricardo.martincoski@gmail.com> (raw)
The advantages of using a pre-existing coding style instead of creating
our own are:
- documenting on the manual takes a single sentence;
- there are automatic tools to help during development/review.
So document that PEP8 recommendation should be followed.

Here is the sentence I didn't add:
The use of https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycodestyle[Python style guide checker]
is recommended before submitting new scripts.
I mentioned in a thread the tool pep8/pycodestyle
From https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycodestyle :
"This package used to be called pep8 but was renamed to pycodestyle to
reduce confusion"
Old url: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8
Also Thomas DS mentioned the tool flake8 that seems to me to group:
pycodestyle + pyflakes + mccabe
http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/
