Really? Do we need to have a brace war? People have different preferences. The standard library includes some of both styles depending on what the maintainer thought was cleanest to their eyes in a given context.

I'm with Raymond. Code should be readable, and code reviews are the best way to achieve that--not endlessly specific formatting rules.

Have there been bugs in CPython that the proposed new PEP 7 rule would have prevented?
