I can see why people prefer particular styles so it's easier to read but on that note with Perl it was just perltidy flags. I can run perltidy on any code anyone here writes and it's easy for me to read, then I can pass it back to whomever and they can run perltidy with their favorite flags and it's easy for them to read. It probably doesn't quite work this way with all languages. I would imagine python being less flexible in this regard.
