1. Coding Standards

  • Python code style outlined in PEP8

  • Python section of the NCEP Coding Standards

  • NCO WCOSS Implementation Standards for directory structure and script naming conventions

  • Doxygen, Python docstrings, and Sphinx for documentation

  • NOTE: Please do not use f-strings in the run_metplus.py file so that the Python version check can notify the user of the incorrect version. Using Python 3.5 or earlier will output the SyntaxError from the f-string instead of the useful error message.
