Python Code Review

Quick Reference

| Issue Type | Reference | |------------|-----------| | Missing/wrong type hints, Any usage | references/type-safety.md | | Blocking calls in async, missing await | references/async-patterns.md | | Bare except, missing context, logging | references/error-handling.md | | Mutable defaults, print statements | references/common-mistakes.md |

Review Checklist

  • [ ] Type hints on all function parameters and return types
  • [ ] No Any unless necessary (with comment explaining why)
  • [ ] Proper T | None syntax (Python 3.10+)
  • [ ] No blocking calls (time.sleep, requests) in async functions
  • [ ] Proper await on all coroutines
  • [ ] No bare except: clauses
  • [ ] Specific exception types with context
  • [ ] raise ... from to preserve stack traces
  • [ ] No mutable default arguments
  • [ ] Using logger not print() for output
  • [ ] f-strings preferred over .format() or %

Review Questions

  1. Are all function signatures fully typed?
  2. Are async functions truly non-blocking?
  3. Do exceptions include meaningful context?
  4. Are there any mutable default arguments?
