Python Skill

Concepts are related to PHP, Java, and Ruby where helpful. Keep code simple and readable — follow the Zen of Python.

Style & Conventions (PEP 8 + ruff)

• 4-space indentation (unlike Ruby's 2 spaces).
• Follow PEP 8 strictly; enforce with ruff (ruff check + ruff format).
• Always follow the repository's existing ruff config — do not override rules project-wide.
• snake_case for functions/variables, PascalCase for classes, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants.
• Use type hints for all function signatures and variable declarations (PHP-style: think typed properties).
• Use f-strings: f"Hello, {name}" (like Ruby's "Hello, #{name}").
• from __future__ import annotations for forward references (Python < 3.10).
