Dear python and odoo community,
What standards / conventions / guidelines do you follow to write beautiful, clean and durable code? Also, how do you make sure that everyone follows them? It can be set as a rule, but how do you ensure that it's respected by all?

I know many people don't see the benefit of a  pythonic code, but working with teams and people from different backgrounds and cultures, I always find it's necessary to have some "ground rules" to ensure quality and results, since trying to decrypt a malformed code can be quite frustrating and time consuming

Hi,

Odoo has own code guiedlines: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/12.0/reference/guidelines.html. It is reasonable to follow them, plus PEP8 - https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/.

Controlling is a sort of complex issue. I guess, here are 2 main ways (to combine):

  1. Automatic tests and, ideally, implemented system of continuous deployment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_deployment)

  2. Carefully merge requests check for each commit (not all guidelines might be checked automatically)

The process of introducing such changes would be painful :)
