That's obviously not true: Many companies and projects have a coding
standard. Many of those coding standards will be based on or even
identical to PEP 8. And as an employee or contributor you may be
required to comply with it. Now you might argue that in this case you
aren't required to comply with PEP 8, but with the coding standard of
your company, but I would consider that excessive nitpickery.
