# Markdown
Use Obsidian-flavored Markdown.
Use fenced code blocks for code snippets, indicating the language when appropriate.
Avoid extra new lines, prefer fewer new lines and compact formatting.

# Coding
The rest of this document describes coding conventions to follow when writing code.
## General
- Do not create comments nor docstrings when updating code unless asked.
- Do not create a summary .md file unless asked.
- Do not create a README.md file unless asked.
- When installing a new dependency, prefer to use the latest version.

## Python
- Avoid exceptions if possible
- When exceptions are necessary, use specific exception types, provide meaningful messages, and handle them appropriately.
- Exceptions try/except blocks should be as narrow as possible, try extra hard to avoid catching exceptions you did not intend to catch.
- Use type hints for all functions and methods.

## Python unit testing:
- Use pytest framework, version 9 or higher.
- Prefer parametrized tests for functions that need to be tested with multiple sets of inputs and expected outputs.
- Use the new `with pytest.test(...)´ for that purpose:

```python
import pytest
def test_parametrized(subtests: pytest.Subtests) -> None:
    # ... setup code ...
    parameters = [...]
    for ... in parameters:
        with subtests.test(x=...):
            assert ...
    # ... tear down ... 
```
