# ***************************************************************************** # CODING STYLE > MAKING YOUR CODE READABLE # ***************************************************************************** # 1. Avoid abbreviating variable names. # 2. Write out your function argument names. # 3. Document your classes and methods. # 4. Comment your code. # 5. Refactor repeated lines of code into reusable functions or methods. # 6. Keep functions and methods short. A good rule of thumb is that scrolling # should not be necessary to read an entire function or method. # TIP: Use Flake8 for Checking Code Quality. # ***************************************************************************** # CODING STYLE > THE WORD ON IMPORTS # ***************************************************************************** # Imports should be grouped in the following order: # 1. Standard library imports. # 2. Core Django imports. # 3. Third-party app imports. # 4. Imports from your apps. # Use explicit relative imports. # Avoid using import * # ***************************************************************************** # CODING STYLE > OTHERS # ***************************************************************************** # Use underscores in URL pattern names rather than dashes. # ***************************************************************************** # DJANGO-ADMIN # ***************************************************************************** django-admin check # Checks the entire django project for potential problems django-admin changepassword <username> # Allows changing a user’s password.
