Sure it does.  The subject line says "conventions", and a convention 
isn't a firm rule, just something many people agree on.  Obviously the 
author of Cookie has different preferences.  Nobody is bound by a 
convention.

The PEP describes what is widespread but not universal preference, 
that's all.
