Josh Rosenberg added the comment:

Well, it's trading one person's style for the PEP7 official style, so it's not 
completely arbitrary.

That said, I'm not sure it's justifiable to apply to the entire historic code 
base; my impression was that PEP7 was not intended to be applied retroactively 
in bulk, per the second reason not to obey a rule:

"To be consistent with surrounding code that also breaks it (maybe for historic 
reasons) -- although this is also an opportunity to clean up someone else's 
mess (in true XP style)."
