Nick Coghlan added the comment: Attached diff has 5 changes:
* Explicit note that this is a living document that evolves over time * Adds another explicit reason for not complying with the style guide (i.e. the code is old but still works and there's no other reason to change it) * Fixed outdated info in the Tabs & Spaces section (Python 3 doesn't allow mixing them at all) * Added an admonishment to avoid import * * Added a new "Public and internal interfaces" section, that leans more heavily on documentation and __all__ than any of the proposals posted to python-dev Some other oddities I noticed: - given PEP 352, the admonishment to avoid string exceptions seems old and outdated. Can we just drop that? - given PEP 3151, the suggestion to create a "domain specific base class" for the module also seems ill-advised. Perhaps we should remove that too? - I've never understood the rationale for favouring absolute imports over explicit relative ones, so I had forgotten that suggestion was even in here. I've raised that one on python-dev, since I recall it being controversial, although I've never been able to fathom why. Explicit relative imports are just *better* in every way whenever they're applicable. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file30936/issue18472_pep_8_update.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18472> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
