Hi All,

There is one case in which Webkit style guidelines and Python style guidelines do not match. This is about spacing before inline comments.

WebKit style guidelines (https://webkit.org/code-style-guidelines/#comments-eol <https://webkit.org/code-style-guidelines/#comments-eol>) says: "Use only one space before end of line comments and in between sentences in comments."

Python PEP8 style guidelines (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#inline-comments <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#inline-comments>) says: "Inline comments should be separated by at least two spaces from the statement."

Should we use "one space" or "two spaces" before the inline comments in python code inside Webkit?

Thanks
Aakash
