I might add that assuming you have braces, PEP 7 would want you to format it as

Running  \`\`grep -B1 else Objects/\*c\`\` shows that we've happily lived with a mixture of styles for a very long time.
ISTM, our committers have had good instincts about when braces add clarity and when they add clutter.
If Nick pushes through an always-use-braces mandate, A LOT of code will need to be changed.
