Python Development (3.14+)

Core Philosophy

1. Stdlib and Mature Libraries First

   • Prefer Python stdlib solutions
   • Have as few external dependencies as possible
   • Prefer dataclasses over attrs, pathlib over os.path

2. Type Hints Everywhere (No Any)

   • Python 3.14 has lazy annotations by default
   • Avoid Any — use concrete types or generics
   • Use native type if possible, i.e. dict over Dict, list over List.
   • Avoid old syntax such as Union, Optinal, Generic.
