Best Practices
Code Style
- Follow PEP 8 and use black/ruff for formatting
- Use type hints everywhere
- Write docstrings for public APIs
- Prefer composition over inheritance
- Use generators for large data processing
Testing
- Aim for 90%+ code coverage
- Test edge cases and error conditions
- Use fixtures for common test data
- Mock external dependencies
- Write both unit and integration tests
Performance
- Profile before optimizing
- Use appropriate data structures
- Leverage caching for expensive operations
- Consider async for I/O-bound operations
- Use generators for memory efficiency
