00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
In this video, you'll learn about PEP.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,560
PEP is the Python Enhancement Proposal.

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,760
It contains guidelines and proposed improvements.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,520
PEP 8 is the current version, and it defines coding style to ensure consistency across

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,520
projects.

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,680
So, it's best practices for coding.

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,379
And the Python core standard library follows it.

8
00:00:26,379 --> 00:00:28,920
And as a programmer, you should follow it as well.

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,099
Here are some recommendations.

10
00:00:32,099 --> 00:00:35,900
One of the recommendations is about indentation and line length.

11
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:42,380
So you should use four spaces for indentation, and a maximum line length is 79 characters.

12
00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:45,220
Then there are some naming conventions.

13
00:00:45,220 --> 00:00:49,020
Variables and functions are in lowercase, with underscores.

14
00:00:49,020 --> 00:00:54,180
As you can see noted here, lowercase underscore, with underscore, underscores.

15
00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:58,580
And classes use cap words, wherever the word starts with a capital.

16
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:00,619
Functions are in uppercase.

17
00:01:00,619 --> 00:01:08,080
And there's also a recommendation about whitespaces after commas, and no spaces before parentheses.

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,940
The import order is as following.

19
00:01:09,940 --> 00:01:14,739
First, there's a standard library, then there is the external packages, and then there is

20
00:01:14,739 --> 00:01:16,139
the local modules.

21
00:01:16,139 --> 00:01:20,180
And these are the most important recommendations in the PEP 8 standard.
