Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

FWIW, I consider this patch to be a waste of time and don't want to encourage more patches like it.   Please focus on substantive changes like improving test coverage, adding documentation strings, etc.

Applying this patch would make a microscopic improvement to neatness but it also has costs (wasting Nick's time, masking the actual test developer's name in the Hg file annotation, and making it more difficult to apply cross-version bug fixes).

PEP-8 is a set of guidelines, not a rigid set of rules where "violations" must be sought out and eliminated.   That is not the spirit of the PEP.

I recommend closing this as won't fix.
