I think Jonathan was talking about the entire community, not a single project. It's impossible for all people to accept a unified standard, everyone has their own style and they'll most probably keep it that way. What matters is consistency. So if you have a certain way of coding, be consistent about it throughout your project.<br>

</div>If your program is partially composed by several modules written by different programmers, that you have found on the net (like from dsource), you will not appreciate to see your program as an Harlequin written in ten widely different coding styles. A more uniform coding style helps you see your program as a single whole instead of as a puzzle, and you will need less time to modify, debug and improve it. If you don't see the advantage of this for your D/Python programs then maybe it's because you haven't done this yet :-)<br>
