[Python-Dev] PEP 8 updates/clarifications (original) (raw)

I've pushed out a revised PEP 8

http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0008.html Please review and comment.

Why does PEP 8 continually refer to one particular editor (Emacs)?
(There are even parts in the form "x is better because it works
better in Emacs", when surely it's actually the case that x is better
because it's better in the majority of editors.)

ISTM that the PEP would be much simpler if it was completely editor- agnostic, but perhaps there's some historical reasoning I'm not aware
of?
