Thanks for the report, but PEP 8 need not be followed everywhere. It's a guideline for the standard library, nothing else. And even in the standard library there are exceptions, as the document itself says.

[SALAMANDRA69]

Thank you for your quick response to my suggestion. I understand that PEP8 does not have to be followed everywhere, but this is the beauty of the code and I think that beauty can be observed in the documentation to show this to users.

@SALAMANDRA69 Please note that the code fragments you pointed to are perfectly compliant with the PEP-8 document.

[SALAMANDRA69]

Oh, I'm sorry to bother you. I need to study PEP better.

@SALAMANDRA69 You don't need to apologize, we all are learning... :)
