Regarding coding style

[K Viltersten]

I've been recommended reading of:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
and in there i saw two things that i 
need to get elaborated.


1. When writing English, Strunk and 
White apply.

Where can i download it? Am i actually
expected to read the whole book? How
many people actually do aply it?


2. You should use two spaces after a 
sentence-ending period.

For heavens sake, why? I've always been 
obstructed by the double blanks but 
tolerated them. Now, that i read that
it actually is a recommendation, i need 
to ask about the purpose.


Thanks for the input in advance.
