So, the PEP says: do not align operators. End of story.
I'm pretty sure that colons, commas and equals signs are not operators.
Whether or not they are intended, the rationale is that lining up does
not work with proportional fonts. However, I have IDLE using fixed-space
font and I line things up how I want. PEP 8 only applies to new stdlib
code. For anything else, it is advisory on a point by point basis.
