I actually discovered in this thread that I've been misreading PEP 7
for going on 7 years now - I thought the brace usage example *did* use
"} else {" (mainly because I write my if statements that way, and
nobody had ever pointed out to me that the C style guide actually says
otherwise).
So I'm happy enough with leaving PEP 7 alone and letting the stylistic
inconsistencies stand (even going forward). I agree in these days of
auto-indenting editors and automated test suites, the maintenance
benefits of always requiring the braces are significantly less than
they used to be.
Cheers,
Nick.
