Of course we won't.

But somebody (with better english usage than I, :) must rewrite PEP 8 to be sharp clear, concise. PEP 8 should encourage, but give a precise guide.

One example of parragraph to rewrite is the one that tell us how to write method names. When I read that section, wasn't clear to me to use Decimal.fromFloat() or Decimal.from_float() (this whole thread wouldn't been so long otherwise).
