I think so.
I think the guide needs to be fixed.
Me too, but I don't think it will happen. :(
I find the fixed version much less readable. A function that takes this many arguments should have an exception to the PEP 8 rule of no whitespace around the equals sign used for keyword arguments. I *think* a reasonable rule is that if you split the call over multiple lines with one argument per line, you should add single spaces before and after the equals sign. What does anyone else think?
I agree, but the style guide says differently. In a previous thread, however, there seems to have been agreement that discussions of style were religious and meaningless, so I suggest ignoring the style guide. <0.32 wink> I would rather people not change things like this when making unrelated changes.
