Bug 37062 – website: Mention Python style on the style guidelines page

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit Website

[Chris Jerdonek]

This report would also be a good place to discuss any additional rules we want to add, for example the ones Shinichiro mentioned here:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33639#c7

For easier reference, I will paste them below.  (I'm going to remove the line mentioning my double-quotes proposal though, since I've since changed my preference to single quotes.)

(From bug 33639, comment 7)
> I strongly agree to have a style guide for python. It should be PEP8 with a few
> modifications. The candidates of the modifications I remember are
> 
> - don't put (or put) parentheses for if, elif, and while statements.
> - remove 80 characters per a line rule to be consistent with other code in
> WebKit?
> - prefer "%(file)s:%(line)d" % {"file": file, "line": line} to "%s:%d" % (file,
> line) for long string interpolations.
> - prefer r"(?P<file>\w+):(?P<line>\d+)" to r"(\w+):(\d+)" for long regexps.

I also added a section to the wiki page which can contain our latest iteration and which we can modify as a group, prior to putting on the web site.

closing. This was added quite a while ago.
