What is PEP 8?
PEP 8: Python's official style guide, which sets conventions such as four-space indentation, lowercase_with_underscores names for functions and variables, and a maximum line length of 79 characters. Following it makes code consistent across teams.
PEP 8: an example
A function named calculate_total follows PEP 8, while CalculateTotal or calcTotal for a function does not.
