2.2 File and Directory Names

Python Sage library code uses the following conventions. Directory names may be plural (e.g., rings) and file names are almost always singular (e.g., polynomial_ring.py). Note that the file polynomial_ring.py might still contain definitions of several different types of polynomial rings.

Note: You are encouraged to include miscellaneous notes, emails, design discussions, etc., in your package. Make these plain text files (with extension .txt) in a subdirectory called notes. (For example, see SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/ext/notes/.)
