>From PEP8--
"The guidelines provided here are intended to improve the readability of code
and make it consistent across the wide spectrum of Python code. As PEP 20 says,
"Readability counts".
A style guide is about consistency. Consistency with this style guide is
important. Consistency within a project is more important. Consistency within
one module or function is the most important.
However, know when to be inconsistent -- sometimes style guide recommendations
just aren't applicable. When in doubt, use your best judgment. Look at other
examples and decide what looks best. And don't hesitate to ask!
In particular: do not break backwards compatibility just to comply with this
PEP!"
