Well, I think Steven pointed out how this isn't usually, really, a
problem, and I tried to point out (in a section of my posting you
didn't quote) that you will have to deal with stupid little nits in
life no matter which way you go.

Personally, for me, this particular thing is a non-issue.  If I'm
getting a code snippet from somewhere, fixing it up is not a problem,
and if I'm using a module or more from somewhere, I am not obsessive
about changing it to PEP 8.
