-# General Coding Style
-
-## Code
-
-Abide by [PEP-8] for general code. Some particular points to note:
-
-* Wrap code at 79 characters.
-* Use only spaces - no tabs.
-* Use implicit string concatenation where possible. Don't use the escape
-  character unless absolutely necessary.
-* Be liberal in your use of whitespace to group related statements together.
-  However, don't leave a space after the docstring and the first statement.
-* Use single quotes for all string literals.
-
-## Documentation
-
-Follow [PEP-257] and the [Sphinx guidelines] for documentation. In particular:
-
-* Wrap docstrings at 72 characters.
-* Use double-quotes for all docstrings.
-* Write all inline comments in lower-case, except where using a name/initialism.
-* Document **all** library functions/classes completely. Tests, however, only need a test case docstring.
-
-To summarise the docstring conventions:
-
-```python
-def my_function(athing, stuff=5):
-   """
-   Summary line here in imperative tense.
-
-   Longer description here...
-
-   :param athing: Details about this paramter here
-   :param stuff: Ditto
-
-   :returns: None
-   """
-   pass  # code here...
-```
-
-### Validation
-
-All code should be checked with the PyLint linter and PEP8 style guide checker.
-Pylint can be run like so:
-
-```bash
-pylint <file or directory>
-```
-
-Most PyLint errors should be resolved. You will need to do this manually.
-However, there are cases where they may not make sense (e.g. you **need** to
-pass `N` parameters to a function). In this case, disable the relevant
-case using an inline `disable` like so:
-
-```python
-# pylint: disable=[code]
-```
-
-On the other hand, all PEP8 errors should be resolved.
