+Intermezzo: Coding Style
+========================
+
+.. sectionauthor:: Georg Brandl <georg@python.org>
+.. index:: pair: coding; style
+
+Now that you are about to write longer, more complex pieces of Python, it is a
+good time to talk about *coding style*.  Most languages can be written (or more
+concise, *formatted*) in different styles; some are more readable than others.
+Making it easy for others to read your code is always a good idea, and adopting
+a nice coding style helps tremendously for that.
+
+For Python, :pep:`8` has emerged as the style guide that most projects adher to;
+it promotes a very readable and eye-pleasing coding style.  Every Python
+developer should read it at some point; here are the most important points
+extracted for you:
+
+* Use 4-space indentation, and no tabs.
+
+  4 spaces are a good compromise between small indentation (allows greater
+  nesting depth) and large indentation (easier to read).  Tabs introduce
+  confusion, and are best left out.
+
+* Wrap lines so that they don't exceed 79 characters.
+
+  This helps users with small displays and makes it possible to have several
+  code files side-by-side on larger displays.
+
+* Use blank lines to separate functions and classes, and larger blocks of
+  code inside functions.
+
+* When possible, put comments on a line of their own.
+
+* Use docstrings.
+
+* Use spaces around operators and after commas, but not directly inside
+  bracketing constructs: ``a = f(1, 2) + g(3, 4)``.
+
+* Name your classes and functions consistently; the convention is to use
+  ``CamelCase`` for classes and ``lower_case_with_underscores`` for functions
+  and methods.  Always use ``self`` as the name for the first method argument.
+
+* Don't use fancy encodings if your code is meant to be used in international
+  environments.  Plain ASCII works best in any case.
