Raymond Hettinger added the comment: -1 on giving PEP 8 any more weight than it already has.
Automated PEP 8 checker tools do away the human commen sense component (the foolish consistency quote is in PEP 8 for a reason). Another downside is that rigid adherence to PEP 8 tends to focus beginners on the least important aspects of code quality. We would be much better-off with integration of PyFlakes or a similar tool that focus on actual semantic errors in the code. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18704> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
