I have worked In harmony with multinational teams from all over the world.  We never needed a writing standard for code changes.  Are current Python code changes documented in such a poor way that they are not understandable?  That would be the only reason to promote a standard, which would not have to be as stringent as Strunk and White.

I don’t like the use of the word “racism” in connection with writing standards, which is blatantly not true.  Do the current leaders of Python promote political agendas?  That’s what this sounds like.
