## Formatting and linting Python code
The Rust repository contains quite a lof of Python code. We try to keep
it both linted and formatted by the [ruff][ruff] tool.
When modifying Python code, use this command to format it:
```sh
./x test tidy --extra-checks=py:fmt --bless
```
and the following command to run lints:
```sh
./x test tidy --extra-checks=py:lint

Ask yourself: if a new variant were added to this enum, what's the
chance that it would want to use the `_` code, versus having some
other treatment? Unless the answer is "low", then prefer an
other treatment? Unless the answer is "low", then prefer an
exhaustive match. (The same advice applies to `if let` and `while
let`, which are effectively tests for a single variant.)
