You are responding to something in Diez's message that I can't see. Nowhere does he say anything about PEP 8 being compulsory. Quite the contrary, he suggests gaining *familiarity* with PEP 8, and calls it a set of *conventions*. > Having said that, I will *suggest* to the Original Poster that you > should follow PEP8 as much as possible.

This, on the other hand, seems pretty much a re-phrasing of what Diez already said. -- \ “You've got the brain of a four-year-old boy, and I'll bet he | `\ was glad to get rid of it.” —Groucho Marx | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
