Guideline

• Code Style

In order to maintain the code style consistency across entire project we use a code formatter. Therefore, we kindly suggest you to do the same whenever you push commits to this project.

The python code formatter we chose is called black. Black is a great tool and it can be installed quickly by running

pip install black.

or

python3.6 -m pip install black

It requires Python 3.6.0+ to run.

• Usage

black {source_file_or_directory}
