Python Standards
Modern Python with uv + ruff + mypy + pytest. All config in pyproject.toml.
Toolchain
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| uv | Dependencies + virtual envs (lockfile: uv.lock) |
| ruff | Linting + formatting (replaces black, isort, flake8) |
| mypy | Type checking (strict mode) |
| pytest | Testing + coverage |
bash
# Setup uv init && uv add <deps> && uv sync # Daily workflow uv run ruff check . --fix && uv run ruff format . uv run mypy . && uv run pytest
Type Hints
All functions and classes must have explicit type hints:
python
def fetch_user(user_id: str) -> User | None:
"""Fetch user by ID."""
...
def process_items(items: list[Item]) -> dict[str, int]:
...
mypy strict mode:
toml
[tool.mypy] strict = true disallow_untyped_defs = true disallow_any_generics = true
Package Structure
Feature-based, not layer-based:
code
src/myproject/
users/ # Domain
__init__.py # Public API: __all__ = ['User', 'UserService']
models.py
services.py
orders/ # Another domain
shared/ # Cross-cutting concerns
Error Handling
Catch specific exceptions with context:
python
try:
result = parse_config(path)
except FileNotFoundError:
logger.warning(f"Config not found: {path}")
return defaults
except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
raise ConfigError(f"Invalid JSON in {path}") from e
Never: bare except:, silent swallowing, except Exception.
pyproject.toml
Single source of truth (no setup.py, requirements.txt):
toml
[project] name = "myproject" version = "1.0.0" requires-python = ">=3.11" dependencies = ["httpx", "pydantic"] [project.optional-dependencies] dev = ["pytest", "mypy", "ruff"] [tool.ruff] select = ["E", "W", "F", "I", "B", "UP", "SIM", "S", "ANN"] line-length = 88 [tool.pytest.ini_options] testpaths = ["tests"] addopts = ["--cov=src", "--cov-fail-under=85"]
Anti-Patterns
- •
Anywithout documented justification - •Layer-based folders (
/controllers,/models,/views) - •Circular imports
- •Legacy tools (pip, black+isort, flake8)
- •Multiple config files
- •
