Given that misunderstanding, is there a way to divorce stdlib-centric guidelines like the one being discussed now from "PEP8"-ness? I don't think any amount of marketing effort or reasoned explanation is going to separate "PEP8" from "correct code" in people's minds at this point.
The standard seems to be "if the pep8 program complains, I forward that upstream", so it's probably most effective to discuss with them. OTOH, we've had to clarify PEP 8 in order to get the pep8 developers to adjust their tool, most recently e.g. the closing brace/bracket/paren for multiline collections. -Barry
