* Use logging.debug('foo %r bar', x) instead of logging.debug('foo %r bar' % x). This is more robust and formatting only happens if we actually log something.
* Use <code>logging.debug('foo %r bar', x)</code> instead of <code>logging.debug('foo %r bar' % x)</code>. This is more robust and formatting only happens if we actually log something.
* When logging strings, consider using <code>%r</code> instead of <code>%s</code> because <code>%r</code> will take care of quoting and escaping the string as needed
* When you catch an exception and want to log it, use logging.exception(), this will print the whole backtrace and exception information, which is very useful when debugging.

* "Short" string literals should use single quotes (<code>'</code>) unless the string contains a single quote (that would need to be escaped)
* "Long" string literals should use three double quotes (<code>"""</code>)
