Description

Taken from a suggestion in https://github.com/RMI/opgee-highlander/pull/24. It could be beneficial to establish a broad set of guidelines to inform the python development process. The same could be done for other languages or project types.

Where
Propose adding new guidelines or docs folder.
Language specific docs can reside in relevant sub-folder: docs/python or guidelines/python

Contents

  • style guidelines
  • common/recommended tooling
  • architectural/design guidance
  • recommended packages for various needs (e.g. "data manipulation" -> polars, db connectivity -> psycopg3 or asyncpg, etc...)
  • testing protocols and tooling
  • packaging, releasing, publishing
  • unique SDLC elements that are specific to python projects

Research direction

Start by reviewing the suggestion in pull request #24 and the issue's proposed guidelines or docs folder structure. Define the scope and organization for Python guidance across style, tooling, architecture, packages, testing, packaging, releasing, publishing, and SDLC practices. Done means the project has an agreed, usable set of Python development guidelines.
