I do not know what you *think* we all know, and I do not quite see your
point.
I for one have pondered this question and have found the suggestion in the
PEP a reasonable one, for if you use a function call in the RHS of an
assignment the lack of whitespace around the equals sign for the keyword
argument makes it easier to see the final assignment:
d = dict(key=val)
vs.
d = dict(key = val)
vs.
d = key = val
YMMV.
