I stick to PEP-8 very closely   There are three specific things that I can t be bothered to change to PEP-8    Avoid extraneous whitespace immediately inside parentheses  brackets or braces   Suggested  spam ham 1    eggs  2    I do this anyway   spam  ham  1      eggs  2      Why   30  years of ingrained habit is snuggling    s up against function names or  in C  statements keywords   Starting with Fortran IV in the 70 s  Use spaces around arithmetic operators   Suggested   x   x   2 - 1  I do this anyway  x  x   2 - 1  Why   Gries  The Science of Programming suggested this as a way to emphasize the connection between assignment and the variable who s state is being changed   It doesn t work well for multiple assignment or augmented assignment  for that I use lots of spaces  For function names  method names and instance variable names  Suggested   lowercase  with words separated by underscores as necessary to improve readability   I do this anyway  camelCase  Why   20  years of ingrained habit of camelCase  starting with Pascal in the 80 s

PEP 8 is good  the only thing that i wish it came down harder on was the Tabs-vs-Spaces holy war    Basically if you are starting a project in python  you need to choose Tabs or Spaces and then shoot all offenders on sight

In python do you generally use PEP 8 -- Style Guide for Python Code as your coding standards guidelines  Are there any other formalized standards that you prefer     As mentioned by you follow PEP 8 for the main text  and PEP 257 for docstring conventions  Along with Python Style Guides  I suggest that you refer the following    Code Like a Pythonista  Idiomatic Python Common mistakes and Warts How not to write Python code Python gotcha

User · Answer

I follow the Python Idioms and Efficiency guidelines  by Rob Knight  I think they are exactly the same as PEP 8  but are more synthetic and based on examples   If you are using wxPython you might also want to check Style Guide for wxPython code  by  Chris Barker  as well
