That would create a lot of code churn for no good reason. The CPython project doesn't encourage making style changes just for the sake of changing the style. The most important part of PEP 8 is this: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#a-foolish-consistency-is-the-hobgoblin-of-little-minds Going through the entire stdlib creating bug reports for style issues is not a productive use of anyone's time. There are large numbers of open bug reports and documentation issues that are far more important. Regarding strings, PEP 8 doesn't recommend either single quotes or double quotes for the std lib, except that doc strings should use triple double-quotes. Each project or even each module is free to choose its own rules. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#string-quotes -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/RILHWKTNWSV552LPHO4VHB35ZY5ZXCKH/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
