Description
Detailed Description
The Atlite codebase currently lacks consistent use of type hints and docstrings.
Adding these would improve code clarity and maintainability. Additional inline comments are also encouraged, even if the code may seem self-explanatory.
Context
Improving documentation and type safety will make Atlite more accessible and reduce the entry barrier for new contributors.
Possible Implementation
Introduce type hints and docstrings throughout the codebase, following standard Python conventions.
Enforce these standards using pre-commit hooks (e.g., via ruff) to ensure consistency in future contributions.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by surveying the Python codebase to identify modules lacking type hints, docstrings, and useful inline comments; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Define a manageable scope and agree on Python documentation and typing conventions before making changes. Done means the agreed scope is documented consistently and any selected pre-commit enforcement is configured.
