I'd personally rather just follow PEP8 and be done with it. Someone has already done the hard work of figuring out a decent style, and it's well accepted by the Python community. Ultimately, the style doesn't matter to me as long as it isn't GNU brace style and it is easy to follow :-) > For the code which is mixing tabs and spaces, should we just invoke > python with '-tt'? PEP8 indicates that will cause mixed tabs and > spaces to be errors. We can, but as I mentioned earlier, pylint will warn about these unless you disable the related msg. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
