And if you're going to publish a tool to enforce your *personal* style guide and include your own custom rules that the "this is OK" examples in PEP 8 fail to satisfy, don't call it "pep8". Especially don't do that if you're then going to ignore a core developer that calls you on misappropriating python-dev's authority :( Regards, Nick.
