I'm searching for Python style guidelines

That's a great list, grflanagan! Thanks.

I looked at each and copied to my disk either as a .txt (cut/paste
from the browser) for a page or less or as .html (view source, chop
off head and non-guideline stuff, save). This is the list plus PEP 8
minus the software. (No disrespect for the software, just sticking to
written standards.) Zope may be a substantial guideline, but it linked
to a page of Zope links, all of which were broken.

This CSV file is sorted by filesize on my disk. One presumes that a
relationship exists between size and extent of coverage. (Warning:
Wiki text could be as much as twice the size of non-wiki for the same
content.) The third column is empty (spacer between size and URL).

A quick look (thorough analysis still required) shows that OLPC and
PyPy are, indeed, extensive standards.
