Conventions regarding Python code for quasar tooling

The note here applies to people developing quasar scripting, like quasar.py and other py scripts in the FrameworkInternals directory.

Developers should follow PEP8.

Note that there is some tooling which can help maintain proper indentation, for instance we recommend autopep8.

The way to invoke it might be:

find . -name \*.py -exec autopep8 --select E101,W291,W293 -i {} \;

You should use LF line endings. You can use dos2unix if in need.

You should use UTF-8.

You should use the following shebang:

#!/usr/bin/env python
