That's half-true on both counts:

First of all, any new library must be PEP 8-compliant for submission to
the standard library, so PEP 8 is indeed somewhat prescriptive.

Second, you can configure pylint to respect your personal style; I think
that pylint's default PEP 8 configuration makes a lot of sense.
