Certainly you are allowed. You should not expect that suggestion to be compelling unless it is accompanied by *factual*, rather than emotive, argument.
I thought I had done that. I pointed out that LHS (whitespace) is significant when it comes to code structure but RHS seems significant when it comes to a condition structure (according to this PEP's recommendation). That inconsistency was my argument in the message you responded to.
That may be enough to rule out the option you are suggesting, because we're not starting from a blank slate of no existing code.
And that's fair enough. I certainly have no desire to argue this until everyone agrees with me (which is what some people are accusing me of) - I'm just replying to those who keep saying "because PEP8".
I'm done with this thread. BR, E. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
