described here are hopefully easy enough to follow as they are very
common and supported by tools and editors.
-The basic style for C code, also mentioned in prog_guide4.txt, is the Linux kernel
-coding style (See Documentation/CodingStyle in the kernel source tree). This
-closely matches what most Samba developers use already anyways, with a few
-exceptions as mentioned below.

The coding style for Python code is documented in PEP8,
-http://www.python.org/pep/pep8 (with spaces).
-If you have ever worked on another free software Python project, you are
-probably already familiar with it.
+https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/. New Python code should be compatible
+with Python 2.6, 2.7, and Python 3.4 onwards. This means using Python 3 syntax
+with the appropriate 'from __future__' imports.
But to save you the trouble of reading the Linux kernel style guide, here
are the highlights.
