Comments on: GROUP BY in Python http://ramblings.timgolden.me.uk/2009/04/06/group-by-in-python/ The ramblings of Tim Golden Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:59:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: tim http://ramblings.timgolden.me.uk/2009/04/06/group-by-in-python/#comment-969 tim Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:31:20 +0000 http://ramblings.timgolden.me.uk/2009/04/06/group-by-in-python/#comment-969 @gedmin.as Thanks for the comments. I've switched to full posts on planet.python now. (Doesn't seem to be retrospective, tho'. Not sure there's anything I can do about that). re opening brackets: this seems to be one of those things you either like or don't. I've had this discussion with a dozen people since I've been posting code. (And I've posted a lot of code). Frankly, *not* having spaces looks weird to me. PEP 8 applies to Python core code, not to random code someone wants to post on the internet except as a general "if you've no other plan, here's a guideline". If I contribute patches to Python, or to any project, I'll naturally follow their style guidelines. If I post my own code, I'll naturally follow the style I've used across several languages over more than twenty years of writing code. Feel free to disagree. FWIW I have *occasionally* switched styles when I felt it politic to do so. My WMI tutorial, for example, removes spaces before brackets. Feels cramped to me, but someone asked nicely so I decided to go for it. @gedmin.as

I'd like to second the request to provide full entries on Planet Python. Spaces in front of opening parentheses look weird in Python code (and PEP-8 recommends against them).

If it feels too intrusive (given my prolix style) I may turn it off again later :). @Abe: I’ve done that, Abe. If it feels too intrusive (given my prolix style) I may turn it off again later :).
