Keystone Style Commandments

Keystone Specific Commandments
------------------------------

- Avoid using "double quotes" where you can reasonably use 'single quotes'


TODO vs FIXME
-------------

- TODO(name): implies that something should be done (cleanup, refactoring,
  etc), but is expected to be functional.
- FIXME(name): implies that the method/function/etc shouldn't be used until
  that code is resolved and bug fixed.


Logging
-------

Use the common logging module, and ensure you ``getLogger``::

    from oslo_log import log

    LOG = log.getLogger(__name__)

    LOG.debug('Foobar')


AssertEqual argument order
--------------------------

assertEqual method's arguments should be in ('expected', 'actual') order.


Properly Calling Callables
--------------------------

Methods, functions and classes can specify optional parameters (with default
values) using Python's keyword arg syntax. When providing a value to such a
callable we prefer that the call also uses keyword arg syntax. For example::

    def f(required, optional=None):
        pass

    # GOOD
    f(0, optional=True)

    # BAD
    f(0, True)

This gives us the flexibility to re-order arguments and more importantly
to add new required arguments. It's also more explicit and easier to read.
