Code style

For Python code, please adhere to the following conventions:

• Imports should be alphabetized. Avoid using from imports.
• Use snake_case for variables and functions, CamelCase for classes, and SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for constants.
• Don't use type annotations.
• Use double quotes for strings.
• Don't use backslashes for line continuation; prefer parentheses.
• Don't use % formatting for strings.

Above all, try to make new code compatible in style with existing code. If you would like to propose a change to the style guidelines, then don't hesitate. What we would like to avoid is extra work in making different parts of the code consistent.
