This isn't the first time someone has had false expectations about PEP
8 and the standard library. I'm seriously wondering if flake8 does
more harm than good by being so strict.
I think this is a big part of the problem. There are various tools out
there (flake8 being one of them) that purport to "improve" or "fix" your
code (or warn you to do it yourself), and various companies and
organizations that adopt policies tied to those tools (e.g., "your pull
request must pass this PEP 8 linter to be accepted"). It's a big problem.
