I think continued discussion is pretty useless. 1. Most everything relevant has been said, likely more than once, and 2. The required core-developer support does not exist.
PEP 8 was written by Guido with input from other core developers. As Chris said, it defines itself in the opening paragraphs as a "guideline" for the "code in the stdlib". It also disclaims a straightjacket approach.
We seldom revise the PEP. Doing so would require initial support from a core developer who garnered more more support. I am not fond of caps either, but not displeased enough to promote the proposal. (What I would like is clarification (from Guido or co-authors) what a 'constant' means in the context.)
Abe, if an employer imposes PEP 8 on employees, especially in an overly rigid manner that the PEP discourages, that is an issue between the employer and employees, It is not the problem of Guido and other core developers.
