+Neutron Specific Commandments
+--------------------------
 
-General
--------
-- Put two newlines between top-level code (funcs, classes, etc)
-- Put one newline between methods in classes and anywhere else
-- Do not write "except:", use "except Exception:" at the very least
-- Include your name with TODOs as in "#TODO(termie)"
-- Do not shadow a built-in or reserved word. Example::
-
-    def list():
-        return [1, 2, 3]
-
-    mylist = list() # BAD, shadows `list` built-in
-
-    class Foo(object):
-        def list(self):
-            return [1, 2, 3]
-
-    mylist = Foo().list() # OKAY, does not shadow built-in
-
-
-Imports
--------
-- Do not make relative imports
-- Order your imports by the full module path
-
-Example::
-
-  The following imports,
-
-  from neutron.api import networks
-  from neutron import wsgi
-
-  are considered equivalent for ordering purposes to
-
-  import neutron.api.networks
-  import neutron.wsgi
-
-- Organize your imports according to the following template
-
-Example::
-
-  # vim: tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4
-  {{stdlib imports in human alphabetical order}}
-  \n
-  {{third-party lib imports in human alphabetical order}}
-  \n
-  {{neutron imports in human alphabetical order}}
-  \n
-  \n
-  {{begin your code}}
-
-
-Human Alphabetical Order Examples
----------------------------------
-Example::
-
-  import httplib
-  import random
-  import StringIO
-  import time
-
-  import eventlet
-  import testtools
-  import webob.exc
-
-  import neutron.api.networks
-  from neutron.api import ports
-  from neutron.db import models
-  from neutron.extensions import multiport
-  import neutron.manager
-  from neutron.openstack.common import log as logging
-  from neutron import service
-
-
-Docstrings
-----------
-Example::
-
-  """A one line docstring looks like this and ends in a period."""
-
-
-  """A multiline docstring has a one-line summary, less than 80 characters.
-
-  Then a new paragraph after a newline that explains in more detail any
-  general information about the function, class or method. Example usages
-  are also great to have here if it is a complex class for function.
-
-  When writing the docstring for a class, an extra line should be placed
-  after the closing quotations. For more in-depth explanations for these
-  decisions see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/
-
-  If you are going to describe parameters and return values, use Sphinx, the
-  appropriate syntax is as follows.
-
-  :param foo: the foo parameter
-  :param bar: the bar parameter
-  :returns: return_type -- description of the return value
-  :returns: description of the return value
-  :raises: AttributeError, KeyError
-  """
-
-
-Dictionaries/Lists
-------------------
-If a dictionary (dict) or list object is longer than 80 characters, its items
-should be split with newlines. Embedded iterables should have their items
-indented. Additionally, the last item in the dictionary should have a trailing
-comma. This increases readability and simplifies future diffs.
-
-Example::
-
-  my_dictionary = {
-      "image": {
-          "name": "Just a Snapshot",
-          "size": 2749573,
-          "properties": {
-               "user_id": 12,
-               "arch": "x86_64",
-          },
-          "things": [
-              "thing_one",
-              "thing_two",
-          ],
-          "status": "ACTIVE",
-      },
-  }
-
-
-Calling Methods
----------------
-Calls to methods 80 characters or longer should format each argument with
-newlines. This is not a requirement, but a guideline::
-
-    unnecessarily_long_function_name('string one',
-                                     'string two',
-                                     kwarg1=constants.ACTIVE,
-                                     kwarg2=['a', 'b', 'c'])
-
-
-Rather than constructing parameters inline, it is better to break things up::
-
-    list_of_strings = [
-        'what_a_long_string',
-        'not as long',
-    ]
-
-    dict_of_numbers = {
-        'one': 1,
-        'two': 2,
-        'twenty four': 24,
-    }
-
-    object_one.call_a_method('string three',
-                             'string four',
-                             kwarg1=list_of_strings,
-                             kwarg2=dict_of_numbers)
-
-
-Internationalization (i18n) Strings
------------------------------------
-In order to support multiple languages, we have a mechanism to support
-automatic translations of exception and log strings.
-
-Example::
-
-    msg = _("An error occurred")
-    raise HTTPBadRequest(explanation=msg)
-
-If you have a variable to place within the string, first internationalize the
-template string then do the replacement.
-
-Example::
-
-    msg = _("Missing parameter: %s") % ("flavor",)
-    LOG.error(msg)
-
-If you have multiple variables to place in the string, use keyword parameters.
-This helps our translators reorder parameters when needed.
-
-Example::
-
-    msg = _("The server with id %(s_id)s has no key %(m_key)s")
-    LOG.error(msg % {"s_id": "1234", "m_key": "imageId"})
-
-Please do not use locals() for string substitutions.
