Glance Style Commandments
=========================
- Step 1: Read http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
- Step 2: Read http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ again
- Step 3: Read on
- Step 1: Read the OpenStack Style Commandments
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/hacking/
- Step 2: Read on
General
-------
- Put two newlines between top-level code (funcs, classes, etc)
- Put one newline between methods in classes and anywhere else
- Do not write "except:", use "except Exception:" at the very least
- Include your name with TODOs as in "#TODO(termie)"
- Do not name anything the same name as a built-in or reserved word
Glance Specific Commandments
----------------------------
Imports
-------
- Do not make relative imports
- Order your imports by the full module path
- Organize your imports according to the following template
Example::
# vim: tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4
{{stdlib imports in human alphabetical order}}
\n
{{third-party lib imports in human alphabetical order}}
\n
{{glance imports in human alphabetical order}}
\n
\n
{{begin your code}}
Human Alphabetical Order Examples
---------------------------------
Example::
import httplib
import logging
import random
import StringIO
import time
import unittest
import eventlet
import webob.exc
import glance.api.middleware
from glance.api import images
from glance.auth import users
import glance.common
from glance.endpoint import cloud
from glance import test
Docstrings
----------
Docstrings are required for all functions and methods.
Docstrings should ONLY use triple-double-quotes (``"""``)
Single-line docstrings should NEVER have extraneous whitespace
between enclosing triple-double-quotes.
**INCORRECT** ::
""" There is some whitespace between the enclosing quotes :( """
**CORRECT** ::
"""There is no whitespace between the enclosing quotes :)"""
Docstrings that span more than one line should look like this:
Example::
"""
Start the docstring on the line following the opening triple-double-quote
If you are going to describe parameters and return values, use Sphinx, the
appropriate syntax is as follows.
:param foo: the foo parameter
:param bar: the bar parameter
:returns: return_type -- description of the return value
:returns: description of the return value
:raises: AttributeError, KeyError
"""
**DO NOT** leave an extra newline before the closing triple-double-quote.
Dictionaries/Lists
------------------
If a dictionary (dict) or list object is longer than 80 characters, its items
should be split with newlines. Embedded iterables should have their items
indented. Additionally, the last item in the dictionary should have a trailing
comma. This increases readability and simplifies future diffs.
Example::
my_dictionary = {
"image": {
"name": "Just a Snapshot",
"size": 2749573,
"properties": {
"user_id": 12,
"arch": "x86_64",
},
"things": [
"thing_one",
"thing_two",
],
"status": "ACTIVE",
},
}
Calling Methods
---------------
Calls to methods 80 characters or longer should format each argument with
newlines. This is not a requirement, but a guideline::
unnecessarily_long_function_name('string one',
'string two',
kwarg1=constants.ACTIVE,
kwarg2=['a', 'b', 'c'])
Rather than constructing parameters inline, it is better to break things up::
list_of_strings = [
'what_a_long_string',
'not as long',
]
dict_of_numbers = {
'one': 1,
'two': 2,
'twenty four': 24,
}
object_one.call_a_method('string three',
'string four',
kwarg1=list_of_strings,
kwarg2=dict_of_numbers)
Internationalization (i18n) Strings
-----------------------------------
In order to support multiple languages, we have a mechanism to support
automatic translations of exception and log strings.
Example::
msg = _("An error occurred")
raise HTTPBadRequest(explanation=msg)
If you have a variable to place within the string, first internationalize the
template string then do the replacement.
Example::
msg = _("Missing parameter: %s") % ("flavor",)
LOG.error(msg)
If you have multiple variables to place in the string, use keyword parameters.
This helps our translators reorder parameters when needed.
Example::
msg = _("The server with id %(s_id)s has no key %(m_key)s")
LOG.error(msg % {"s_id": "1234", "m_key": "imageId"})
Creating Unit Tests
-------------------
For every new feature, unit tests should be created that both test and
(implicitly) document the usage of said feature. If submitting a patch for a
bug that had no unit test, a new passing unit test should be added. If a
submitted bug fix does have a unit test, be sure to add a new one that fails
without the patch and passes with the patch.
Commit Messages
---------------
Using a common format for commit messages will help keep our git history
readable. Follow these guidelines:
First, provide a brief summary of 50 characters or less. Summaries
of greater then 72 characters will be rejected by the gate.
The first line of the commit message should provide an accurate
description of the change, not just a reference to a bug or
blueprint. It must be followed by a single blank line.
Following your brief summary, provide a more detailed description of
the patch, manually wrapping the text at 72 characters. This
description should provide enough detail that one does not have to
refer to external resources to determine its high-level functionality.
Once you use 'git review', two lines will be appended to the commit
message: a blank line followed by a 'Change-Id'. This is important
to correlate this commit with a specific review in Gerrit, and it
should not be modified.

and how to split up commits into a series of changes, consult the
