Re: [Python-Dev] Why does PEP 7/8 explicitly suggest 2 spaces after a period?

I just tried a re-flow in emacs (M-q or fill-paragraph) and it didn't change my single space to two (it also changed 3 spaces after a period to 2; and it preserved my hanging indents). I have no idea what vim does. (OTOH, emacs annoyingly adds a blank line to my """ docstrings, which I remove

ALso, in case anyone reading this didn't realize, this is a classic internet debate that has been going on for decades (just not on python-dev). Just Google it. On Fri, May 20, 2016 at 9:40 AM, Facundo Batista wrote: > On Fri, May 20, 2016 at 1:27 PM, Brett Cannon

Re: [Python-Dev] Why does PEP 7/8 explicitly suggest 2 spaces after a period?

In Emacs, the paragraph reflow commands still try to keep a period followed by only one space together on a line, under the assumption that it might be something like `Dr. Brett Cannon`. A reasonable HTML generator should ignore the second space. So all in all I still like the two-space rule --

Is there a specific reason for calling out two spaces in comments after a period(I realize it's probably for consistency, but I sure don't ever think about this when I write comment)? Otherwise who actually still writes using two spaces after punctuation? :)
