I personally think the style guide should just go and/or redirect to PEP 8. I didn't even know it existed until this email. And I only know of people updated PEP 8.

The top of the style guide basically does that:

This style guide has been converted to several PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals): PEP 8 for the main text, PEP 257 for docstring conventions. See the PEP index.

Perhaps that warning could be strengthened to suggest that the style guide is outdated and (apparently) unfinished? Beyond that, I don't see any contradiction here, and I don't see any reason to spend time updating the style guide.
