In general, I *try* and stick to the Python Style Guide (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/), particularly for new code. This makes it easier to contribute code to Python itself, and a number of other projects (eg bzr) have a policy that requires contributed code conform (and indeed, they make use of tools to check this). While I don't agree with everything in the style guide, IMO more is gained by me following it than by indulging myself in personal taste issues that really don't matter. One of my favourite things about pep8 is that the first real heading is "A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Little Minds", so I think its tone is quite reasonable.
Unfortunately for this discussion, the space before the parens can be found under the "Pet Peeves" section :) Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
