PEP8 is touted a lot as if it is a perfectly correct tome of ... correctness. I've worked in Python long enough to know that it both doesn't cover everything and the advice is sometimes actively bad.
- raverbashing 4y agoAmen I mean, I'm not blaming PEP8 per se (A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Little Minds) but it has a tendency to be taken as gospel by a lot of people Funny enough, those who push for more strict adherence are also the ones that neglect other aspects (speed, alg. complexity, etc) especially readability (and no, PEP8 compliant code is not necessarily the most readable)
