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)." ---------- nosy: +josh.r _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28145> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
