IMO this is true, despite the comment below: > PEP-8 is not a universal truth, or even a standard, we really > shouldn't be treating it like it is. Unfortunately, it's not us (at least, I don't think it is), and it's not our choice. Despite repeated warnings on the lists and even in the PEP that this is specific to the Python standard library, there are a lot of projects that choose to use the pep8 and flake8 utilities to more or less enforce PEP 8 as a standard. I believe the OP was in that situation, and it usually comes up when we have these discussions. They want us to take leadership in enforcing their standard on the rest of the world. But I don't see what's in it for us, given how divided we are on the issue. -- Associate Professor Division of Policy and Planning Science http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/ Faculty of Systems and Information Email: turnb...@sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tel: 029-853-5175 Tennodai 1-1-1, Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
