<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1" role="doc-backlink">Status</a><a class="headerlink" href="#status" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p><strong>Superseded</strong></p>
<p>Current guidelines for style, including usage of pep8 are maintained
in <a class="reference external" href="https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/devel/coding_guide.html">our pull request guidelines</a>.</p>
<p>We are currently enforcing a sub-set of pep8 on new code contributions.</p>
</section>
<section id="branches-and-pull-requests">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2" role="doc-backlink">Branches and Pull requests</a><a class="headerlink" href="#branches-and-pull-requests" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>None so far.</p>
</section>
<section id="abstract">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3" role="doc-backlink">Abstract</a><a class="headerlink" href="#abstract" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>The matplotlib codebase predates PEP8, and therefore is less than
consistent style-wise in some areas. Bringing the codebase into
compliance with PEP8 would go a long way to improving its legibility.</p>
</section>
<section id="detailed-description">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4" role="doc-backlink">Detailed description</a><a class="headerlink" href="#detailed-description" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>Some files use four space indentation, some use three. Some use
different levels in the same file.</p>
<p>For the most part, class/function/variable naming follows PEP8, but it
wouldn't hurt to fix where necessary.</p>
</section>
<section id="implementation">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5" role="doc-backlink">Implementation</a><a class="headerlink" href="#implementation" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>The implementation should be fairly mechanical: running the pep8 tool
over the code and fixing where appropriate.</p>
<p>This should be merged in after the 2.0 release, since the changes will
likely make merging any pending pull requests more difficult.</p>
<p>Additionally, and optionally, PEP8 compliance could be tracked by an
automated build system.</p>
</section>
<section id="backward-compatibility">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6" role="doc-backlink">Backward compatibility</a><a class="headerlink" href="#backward-compatibility" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>Public names of classes and functions that require change (there
shouldn't be many of these) should first be deprecated and then
removed in the next release cycle.</p>
</section>
<section id="alternatives">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7" role="doc-backlink">Alternatives</a><a class="headerlink" href="#alternatives" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>PEP8 is a popular standard for Python code style, blessed by the
Python core developers, making any alternatives less desirable.</p>
