Hi, I have unlocked the PR (https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/8538).
Sergey, if there is ever need for such a thing (I actually didn't even know you can lock a PR), please discuss this with me first. Blocking anyone is a *serious* issue and that's not how I want the sympy community to be. The people who have actual push access to the repository at github are meant to be people to help with merging patches (PRs) in, not as some kind of community moderators. Joachim and Sergey, let's try to agree to disagree, especially about so minor things like PEP8. People will always disagree about such things, and it really is minor in the scheme of things. Joachim, let's be frank here, I noticed that you comment a lot in some threads and that's fine. But sometimes it can be not very productive, i.e. no code is written based on some discussions. In such cases, it's better to just let things go. I don't always agree with you, but you and anyone else is always welcome to comment on any issue or email thread. Just try to keep in mind that if the discussion is not productive, it's wasting everybody's time to keep discussing it. As Evelyn Beatrice Hall said in Voltaire's biography: "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.".
