Someone should just take down that styleguide, or replace it with a link (and only a link) to PEP 8. I can't do that myself, it's in the hands of the webmasters.

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 Perhaps that warning could be strengthened to suggest that the style guide is outdated and (apparently) unfinished?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. Dustin
