So is line breaks before or after operators .

ALso, in case anyone reading this didn't realize, this is a classic internet debate that has been going on for decades (just not on python-dev). Just Google it.

Is there a specific reason for calling out two spaces in comments after a period(I realize it's probably for consistency, but I sure don't ever think about this when I write comment)? Otherwise who actually still writes using two spaces after punctuation? :) I couldn't find it in the reference but AFAIK is something that is also done in ReStructured Text. Regards, -- .
