The Python library adheres to a formal coding standard outlined by
Guido! I have to shift to that standard when I code for the standard
library. Really, Python solves *one* of many coding standard issues:
where to put the curly braces. To treat this as a major argument either
for or against Python is ridiculous in my mind.
