And most importantly, read this section: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#a-foolish-consistency-is-the-hobgoblin-of-little-minds This is the single most important recommendation in the document. Next most important is the one immediately before it - the introduction - which specifically states that this is the style guide for *the standard library*. It's not a document which governs YOUR code, unless you specifically choose it to be. That said, though, it does reflect a lot of commonly-held views on what's good style for Python code. And in the original examples, I agree with PEP 8 on all points - no space before colon, no space inside brackets, and generally yes space around the operator.
