And so you have managed to separate one set of looping conditions into two 
parts. What is the significance of the name “desc_attr_colors_triples”? None 
at all. What purpose does it serve? None, really. Does it ease the 
maintenance burden? No, but by splitting your attention across two places, 
it actually adds to it.

If this is all your PEP-8 can achieve, then a pox on it.
