I agree. I very rarely use blank lines inside functions. As I see it, if you feel you need a blank line for separation within a function, that's an indication your function is overly complex and should be broken up. Keeping blank lines out of functions also makes it easy to copy/paste those functions into the interactive interpreter, which can be handy e.g. when sharing snippets of code by email. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
