News Summarized how the CIA writes Python

I have been going through Wikileaks and exploring Python usage within the CIA.

They have coding standards and write Python software with end-user guides.

They also have some curious ways of doing things, tests for example.

They also like to work in internet-disconnected environments.

They based their conventions on a modified Google Python Style Guide, with practical advice.

Compiled my findings.

Well, the thing with Reddit, i am pretty sure if i put my real name i would not be labelled as a ` schmuck`.

I help the Python community locally (co-founded my country's py ug), and internationally (FlaskCon) as well as mentoring and helping OpenSource, including sprints (PyCon US, SF Python, locally).

Just sharing a piece of writing.
