That's why they're PEP 8 and not syntax rules. However, this doesn't look like style. This syntax is modifying either the `except` keyword for the exception type associated with it. Which does it modify? That the asterisk can be on either side of the whitespace feels very odd, in general but especially for Python syntax. That's why I'd opt for a variation that is either unambiguously attached to the left or right, or which is not connected to either, like the very clear `except group E` proposal. _______________________________________________ > 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/ZLU5NYXVRCUM7AEEN55ITUQO43VDY6RE/ > Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ > > -- CALVIN SPEALMAN SENIOR QUALITY ENGINEER calvin.speal...@redhat.com M: +1.336.210.5107 [image: https://red.ht/sig] <https://red.ht/sig> TRIED.
