Also, the conformity to pep8 can be easily automatically checked. I remember when using pycharm as an editor, it was rather easy to comply. As a side note, I remember i learned a lot of tricks that make your code more easy to read/maintain after searching for articles about "pythonic python code"

Use a linter, personally pylint has helped me learn to write more "Pythonic" code. If you're using vscode, you can easily integrate it or any other python linter.

If you also want a linter for bash, check out shellcheck: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck

Read pep8, as others suggest, but don’t use a linter.

> However, know when to be inconsistent – sometimes style guide recommendations just aren’t applicable. When in doubt, use your best judgment. Look at other examples and decide what looks best.

To follow up on this, if you've got a spare hour, one of the python core developers has a great demo of how pep8 can sometimes be blinding to larger issues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf-BqAjZb8M

That said, most of what pep8 says is great to follow in the vast majority of cases.
