+
+Dictionaries/Lists
+------------------
+  If a dictionary (dict) or list object is longer than 80 characters, its
+  items should be split with newlines. Embedded iterables should have their
+  items indented. Additionally, the last item in the dictionary should have
+  a trailing comma. This increases readability and simplifies future diffs.
+
+  Example:
+
+    my_dictionary = {
+        "image": {
+            "name": "Just a Snapshot",
+            "size": 2749573,
+            "properties": {
+                 "user_id": 12,
+                 "arch": "x86_64",
+            },
+            "things": [
+                "thing_one",
+                "thing_two",
+            ],
+            "status": "ACTIVE",
+        },
+    }
+  
+
+Calling Methods
+---------------
+  Calls to methods 80 characters or longer should format each argument with 
+  newlines. This is not a requirement, but a guideline.
+
+    unnecessarily_long_function_name('string one',
+                                     'string two',
+                                     kwarg1=constants.ACTIVE,
+                                     kwarg2=['a', 'b', 'c'])
+
+
+  Rather than constructing parameters inline, it is better to break things up:
+
+    list_of_strings = [
+        'what_a_long_string',
+        'not as long',
+    ]
+
+    dict_of_numbers = {
+        'one': 1,
+        'two': 2,
+        'twenty four': 24,
+    }
+        
+    object_one.call_a_method('string three',
+                             'string four',
+                             kwarg1=list_of_strings,
+                             kwarg2=dict_of_numbers)
+
+
+Internationalization (i18n) Strings
+-----------------------------------
+  In order to support multiple languages, we have a mechanism to support
+  automatic translations of exception and log strings.
+
+  Example:
+    msg = _("An error occurred")
+    raise HTTPBadRequest(explanation=msg)
+  
+  If you have a variable to place within the string, first internationalize
+  the template string then do the replacement.
+
+  Example:
+    msg = _("Missing parameter: %s") % ("flavor",)
+    LOG.error(msg)
+ 
+  If you have multiple variables to place in the string, use keyword
+  parameters. This helps our translators reorder parameters when needed.
+
+  Example:
+    msg = _("The server with id %(s_id)s has no key %(m_key)s")
+    LOG.error(msg % {"s_id": "1234", "m_key": "imageId"})

-Don't attempt to wrap GreenPipes in GreenPipe
-
-If the os module is monkeypatched, Python's standard subprocess module
-will return greenio.GreenPipe instances for Popen objects' stdin, stdout,
-and stderr attributes. However, eventlet.green.subprocess tries to wrap
-these attributes in another greenio.GreenPipe, which GreenPipe refuses.
