What I or you prefer carries very little weight. I know layout-things stir up a lot of bad feeling, but I honostly think those people should grow up. When I cooperate in a project, I adapt my style to the one used in the project. I may use a tool to change between styles for things I work on an back when I register my piece or I may just write in the project style, depending on what goes easiest. > And as not all code I read is code I'm supposed to write (might it be OSS > that I dig into for debugging, or other 3rd party sources I can't control, > e.g. different departments with different project leaders) I found that > python's way of imposing a rather strict layout on _all_ coders out there > means I've less trouble digging into other peoples code.

Personnaly I find difference in style a very minor issue compared to difference of language or difference of development environment. If you so much need the strict layout python imposes, I start to question whether you are flexible enough for programming. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
