PEP 8 compliance

[Maxime Arthaud <maxime.arthaud@…>]

Hello,

Some PEP 8 rules are not respected in /django/dispatch/saferef.py.

Thanks for the report, but the ability to merge upstream changes in this file is more important than PEP8 compliance.

Generally speaking:

• many parts of Django do not abide by PEP 8, and we have an explicit policy of ​following the surrounding style;
• we ask contributors to be very conservative with style cleanups, because it makes patches harder to review;
• patches that are pure style cleanups aren't useful, because it's much faster to redo the work than to review it.

... and, you missed the most important point - the first clause in PEP8: ​A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds

PEP8 isn't a hard law. It's a style guide, and most importantly, it's a style guide that says sometimes it's OK to break the style guide.
