I would follow that, and forget about trying to adapt WebKit C++ style to an unrelated language. Trying to adapt the style checker to ignore particular PEP8 rules seems like wasted effort.


There is definitely a number of PEP8 rules that we want to follow. But I don't think that there is anything about the two space before comment rule that makes it particularly fitting for Python.

I think that we should target WebKit developers with the coding style as much as possible, not Python developers. As we all agree on the one space rule elsewhere, why make a part of the code base uncomfortably different for most WebKit developers?
