Which is exactly what PEP-8 is for Python -- it is the default style
guide that people can fall back on if there is no agreed style for a
given project by the people working on that project.  The power of a
sensible default is strong.

But as someone said in another post, Python is special compared to the
curly bracket languages due to the block formatting rules.
