📄️ Linting & Formatting

To maintain code quality and consistency across the Meteostat Python library, we use Ruff, a Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust. Ruff helps us identify and fix common issues in our codebase, ensuring that our code adheres to best practices and style guidelines. Contributors are encouraged to run Ruff locally before submitting pull requests to catch any potential issues early. If available for your IDE, consider installing the Ruff extension (VS Code) to get real-time feedback while coding.
