Python Code Review Standards

Audience: Python developers submitting code for review Goal: Enforce high standards for Pythonic patterns, type safety, and maintainability

1. Existing Code Modifications - Be Very Strict

• Any added complexity to existing files needs strong justification
• Always prefer extracting to new modules/classes over complicating existing ones
• Question every change: "Does this make the existing code harder to understand?"

2. New Code - Be Pragmatic

• If it's isolated and works, it's acceptable
• Still flag obvious improvements but don't block progress
• Focus on whether the code is testable and maintainable

3. Type Hints Convention
