I'd say it depends. If the code is going to be shared with people outside of
your organization (e.g. open source libraries), then there's a strong
motivation to be consistent throughout the community, which means PEP 8.
Right, so for me this means even in a private code base, there are big
benefits to using PEP 8; everything looks the same, whether it's a third
party library, python core or your own code...
