[Qgis-developer] Python plugins style guide

[Luiz Motta]

The choice about your style depend how you use the tecnology.

At moment, i am migrating for consume of Qt Framework, then, i prefer use
the classes of Qt than Python with the same funcionality, of course, the
code style is closer of QGIS developers.

It is good we has one guide, or one manual of good practices , to plugin in
Python,  facilitating the construction of several persons plugin.

My opinion is use the PyQt4 style, it is more close of QGIS developers.
It is more easy migrate to C++  candidate's  plugins to core

Luiz
