Algorithms in this repo should not be how-to examples for existing Python packages.

#### Pre-commit plugin
Use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/#installation) to automatically format you code to match our coding style,

```bash
python3 -m pip install pre-commit # required only once
pre-commit install

```bash
pre-commit run --all-files --show-diff-on-failure
