Code Formatting Guidelines

• 2 spaces per indentation level, no tabs
• Use whitespace to make the code more readable
• No whitespace at the end of a line (trailing whitespace)
• Try to adhere to a 80 character line length limit
• No Unicode
• Spaces after commas

Naming Conventions

• Use lower case with underscores for method names, for example, prime_decomposition instead of primedecomposition and basis_matrix instead of basismat. The only exception are method names that start with an is (predicates). In this case there is no underscore between is and the word that follows. For example, it is issubgroup instead of is_subgroup and istorsion_point instead of is_torsion_point.
• Use upper camel case convention for type names
