Let's not loose track of the thread here.
The question was whether there should be a space between the function
name and the leading parenthesis, as:
my_function (arg)
vs:
my_function(arg)
PEP8 clearly requires the latter.
PEP8 is a coding standard document for the Python standard library.
Nothing more. It is not a mandate for all Python code. I disagree with
several of the conventions in PEP8, although if I ever submit anything
to the standard library, I will reformat it to match.
The key lesson in that PEP is that you should stick to SOME standard.
It need not be the same standard used by others.
IMHO any published example code, which is what we are talking about
here, should follow the PEP8 style guide.
No, that's going WAY too far. It is a mandate for the standard library,
and it is a starting point for new Python coders.
(Besides which I personally REALLY hate the extra space.)
You are entitled to do so. I don't like it either, but I will certainly
defend TJG's right to write his code using his own standards. I,
personally, like Camel-cased names with an extra space inside the
parentheses, both of which are discouraged by PEP8:
obj = myFunction( one, two )
