But perhaps the most crucial part of PEP 8 is up in the introductory text: """ But most importantly: know when to be inconsistent -- sometimes the style guide just doesn't apply. ... Some other good reasons to ignore a particular guideline: 1. When applying the guideline would make the code less readable, even for someone who is used to reading code that follows this PEP. """ This is a very New Testament style of guidebook: your conscience is very important, the details of the rules are subordinate to the overriding principle of readability. In Dungeons & Dragons terms, you're called to be a paladin with an emphasis on Good where it conflicts with Lawful. This is PEP 8's anti-bureaucracy rule.
