To what end though? It's a small thing sure but it's busywork. Why am I being asked to do busywork?

  Yeah, I don't like the busywork that Pep8 makes me do it, and it's a lot, and some of it is stupid, but it has to be done You certainly don't have to do it if you don't want Python 3 and 2to3 makes it a lot easier

    >Yeah, I don't like the busywork that Pep8 makes me do it, and it's a lot, and some of it is stupid, but it has to be done Actually no, it hasn't. PEP8 is just a formatting standard, your code will work with your own standard too.

      True, I meant this https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8

        Guido doesn't like that tool; they're guidelines, not rules.

          > Guido doesn't like that tool; they're guidelines, not rules. Yes, a lot of people need to get that memo I don't like it as well, but it keeps a group of developers in check. And it can be configured, so there's that as well Too bad autopep8 produces bad results out of the box
