The question was about which style to *recommend* (a la PEP-8).
I think the very fact that it can't (or is difficult) be enforced,
How so? If style checkers are already able to check whitespace around
operators, they should be to check whitespace in this instance as well.
Do you suggest that PEP 8 violations should be detected by the Python
parser itself?
No, but if it isn't decided by *us*, it'll be decided by whoever
contributes it to Black first.
To me, the "*name" looks most similar to how we write "*args" in a
function definition, so I'd go for that.
We don't currently modify[1] keywords with punctuation, and that's what
"except*" looks like, and "except * E" looks like a binary operator
and/or grit on the screen.
Cheers,
Steve
