Unpythonic

Something unpythonic, is something that goes against the standards used by Python devs. It’s the oposite of something pythonic

e.g. The standard name for the first arg of a method is self
not doing so would be unpythonic, but it would work.

class MyClass():
    def method1(self):
        pass
    def method2(my_class_instance):
        pass
