sdlc-python-conventions

Modern Python idioms for any Python 3.10+ project: PEP 8 style, PEP 484/526 type hints, dataclasses, pathlib, enums, f-strings, structural pattern matching (match/case), context managers, exception handling, and null discipline. Stack-agnostic — referenced by every Python plugin in the marketplace. Use this skill to: - Write strongly-typed code with type hints on every function signature and class attribute. - Replace isinstance chains and magic constants with match/case and enums. - Use dataclasses or NamedTuple for value objects and data containers. - Handle resources safely with context managers and pathlib for all file paths. - Apply PEP 8 naming and structure conventions consistently. Do NOT use this skill for: - Framework-specific idioms (Django ORM, FastAPI routers, Flask blueprints — those live in framework plugin skills). - Packaging and dependency management — see sdlc-python-tooling. - Testing patterns — see sdlc-pytest-testing.
