Which is exactly what PEP-8 is for Python -- it is the default style guide that people can fall back on if there is no agreed style for a given project by the people working on that project. The power of a sensible default is strong. But as someone said in another post, Python is special compared to the curly bracket languages due to the block formatting rules. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
