pep8.py doesn’t violate PEP8, it just takes a stricter view of it.
If pep8 reports errors on things that PEP 8 says are okay, that's a violation.
Being stricter is not a violation, it’s being stricter.
Then it should be called stricterThanPep8. ;)
I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this point. A tool that implements PEP 8 [1], but tells me that
something PEP 8 allows is an error -- well, that's not PEP 8 then, is it?
At any rate, this part of the thread is pretty off-topic, so this is my last
post about it.

[1] Yes, I checked the site for pep8, and saw the escape clause of "some of the style conventions" -- the problem is the
cognitive dissonance between the name of the tool and the actions of the tool.
