* Fix minor typos.

Barry Warsaw 8e4c8019b1 Added a note on compound statements after remarks from David Goodger.
Make the code samples agree with this recommendation. ;)

Fred Drake d5b900cf13 Fix a couple of import statements. 2002-06-22 02:14:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6655f152be Don't use 'strorunicodeobj' as the generic object name. Use just
'obj' -- after all, you don't know that it's a string or unicode
object just yet, that's what the test in these examples is for!

Neal Norwitz 22cf1a49f9 Update for all the various ways of checking for a string/unicode object
in 2.3, 2.2, 2.1/2.0.

Barry Warsaw 842de4b458 Slight change to the string methods recommendation; we mitigate the
recommendation if compatibility with pre-Python 2.0 is necessary.

Gerhard Haring, and Guido van Rossum.

Barry Warsaw 7c91cd266a Added Tim's names to avoid (with the addition of cap-I which looks
like an `l' in some fonts).

Barry Warsaw d5a7731ccf Integrated style recommendations from my (Barry's) mimelib/Mailman
style guide.  Only added recommendations that Guido agrees with. :)

Guido van Rossum 7112960b46 Minor nits. Add strong preference for spaces over tabs. 2002-05-24 15:01:43 +00:00
Barry Warsaw bd48c56a75 Roger <roger.haase@usa.net> points out that "mixed case" is
inconsistently used both to describe mixedCase and MixedCase.
MixedCase should really be CapWords, reserving mixedCase for the
situation where the first letter is lowercased.

Also, add a comment that MixedCase is sometimes called CamelCase.
Note that the existing most common case usage is that CamelCase has an
initial capitalized letter.

Guido van Rossum 8bee56c3bf Make the section on consistency a separate section, as in the
original.  Close an unmatched parenthesis at the very end.

Barry Warsaw e3eaa92bcf Post it today. 2001-07-05 18:56:34 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 80caa6827f Guido's famous Python Style Guide essay, converted to PEP format,
spellchecked and mildly edited.  It's still as incomplete as the
former.
