To what end though? It's a small thing sure but it's busywork. Why am I being asked to do busywork?

Yeah, I don't like the busywork that Pep8 makes me do it, and it's a lot, and some of it is stupid, but it has to be done

You certainly don't have to do it if you don't want Python 3 and 2to3 makes it a lot easier

Actually no, it hasn't. PEP8 is just a formatting standard, your code will work with your own standard too.

Guido doesn't like that tool; they're guidelines, not rules.

Too bad autopep8 produces bad results out of the box
