6 Python code follows `PEP8 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>`_
7 with regard to coding style and `PEP257
8 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/>`_ with regard to docstring
9 style. Multi-line docstrings should have one short summary line,
10 followed by a blank line and a series of paragraphs. The last
11 paragraph should be followed by a line that closes the docstring (no
12 blank line in between). Here's an example from
13 ``lib/bup/helpers.py``::
16 """Delete a file at path 'f' if it currently exists.
18 Unlike os.unlink(), does not throw an exception if the file didn't already
23 Module-level docstrings follow exactly the same guidelines but without the
24 blank line between the summary and the details.
26 The C implementations should follow the `kernel/git coding style
27 <http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle>`_.
