+
+# Python Coding Conventions
+
+## Python Instructions
+
+- Write clear and concise comments for each function.
+- Ensure functions have descriptive names and include type hints.
+- Provide docstrings following PEP 257 conventions.
+- Use the `typing` module for type annotations (e.g., `List[str]`, `Dict[str, int]`).
+- Break down complex functions into smaller, more manageable functions.
+
+## General Instructions
+
+- Always prioritize readability and clarity.
+- For algorithm-related code, include explanations of the approach used.
+- Write code with good maintainability practices, including comments on why certain design decisions were made.
+- Handle edge cases and write clear exception handling.
+- For libraries or external dependencies, mention their usage and purpose in comments.
+- Use consistent naming conventions and follow language-specific best practices.
+- Write concise, efficient, and idiomatic code that is also easily understandable.
+
+## Code Style and Formatting
+
+- Follow the **PEP 8** style guide for Python.
+- Maintain proper indentation (use 4 spaces for each level of indentation).
+- Ensure lines do not exceed 79 characters.
+- Place function and class docstrings immediately after the `def` or `class` keyword.
+- Use blank lines to separate functions, classes, and code blocks where appropriate.
+
+## Edge Cases and Testing
+
+- Always include test cases for critical paths of the application.
+- Account for common edge cases like empty inputs, invalid data types, and large datasets.
+- Include comments for edge cases and the expected behavior in those cases.
+- Write unit tests for functions and document them with docstrings explaining the test cases.
+
+## Example of Proper Documentation
+
+```python
+def calculate_area(radius: float) -> float:
+    """
+    Calculate the area of a circle given the radius.
+    
+    Parameters:
+    radius (float): The radius of the circle.
+    
+    Returns:
+    float: The area of the circle, calculated as π * radius^2.
+    """
+    import math
+    return math.pi * radius ** 2
+```
