% Maybe camelCase for functions and snake_case for variables?

%% Driver functions

% In order--

% add shebang '#!/usr/bin/env/python' at the top of all driver functions

% import python global libraries

% import project-specific libraries
  - when importing project-specific libraries import project-specific libraries, import them as local_(name excluding nedc_mladp_) 

% import NEDC libraries (do not shorten)

% all driver functions must import project-specific library nedc_mladp_fileio_tools

% all driver programs should start by parsing the parameter file from the command line and parsing ALL other arguments from the parameter file:
  # set argument parsing
  #
  args_usage = "nedc_mladp_gen_feats.usage"
  args_help = "nedc_mladp_gen_feats.help"
  parameter_file = fileio_tools.parameters_only_args(args_usage,args_help)

  # parse parameters
  #
  parsed_parameters = nedc_file_tools.load_parameters(parameter_file,"gen_feats")

  # use the same name for the variable as the item parsed ex:
  # windowsize = int(parsed_parameters['windowsize'])
  param1 = parsed_parameters['param1']
  param2 = cast(parsed_parameters['param2']
  directory_example = parsed_parameters['directory_example']
  if not directory_example.endswith("/"):
     directory_example += "/"
