Hi all, So I have been looking into the python code in the git tree recently (contrib and core tree) and noticed that almost none of the files fully conform to pep8. Now I'm not just saying this because I like the code to be clean, readable and easily parsed by humans, but also because this is laid out in the coding style document that is distributed with the git source::
For Python scripts:
- We follow PEP-8 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/).
It's even the first thing that you see when you go looking for 'python'
in the coding style document. I just ran every file in the tree that
either ended in '.py' or had a python #!, and was greeted with a whole
bunch of output::
./git-p4.py
./contrib/svn-fe/svnrdump_sim.py
./contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-bzr
./contrib/hooks/multimail/post-receive
./contrib/hooks/multimail/migrate-mailhook-config
./contrib/hooks/multimail/git_multimail.py
./contrib/hooks/multimail/README
./contrib/hg-to-git/hg-to-git.py
./contrib/gitview/gitview
./contrib/fast-import/import-zips.py

11 E702 multiple statements on one line (semicolon)
34 E703 statement ends with a semicolon
9 E711 comparison to None should be 'if cond is None:'
2 E713 test for membership should be 'not in'
1022 W191 indentation contains tabs
40 W601 .has_key() is deprecated, use 'in'
1 W602 deprecated form of raising exception
1 W603 '<>' is deprecated, use '!='
1 W604 backticks are deprecated, use 'repr()'
Which is a whole bunch of errors and warnings thrown by pep8. Is pep8
just getting put by the wayside? I would much rather have these scripts
conform to that and have an actual coding style rather than just be a
hodge-podge of different styles.
Thanks,
