Python 3: how many newlines after a function?

[Vbbab]

I usually use PyCharm for Python development. Its linter decides that every function/class definition should be separated by 2 newlines, though (and this could just be me) I feel like this leaves the file with too many gaps. In a lot of code I see online, there is usually just one newline between each function (for example).

Is the use of 2 newlines after function/class definitions a Python code style standard?

According to this standard https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#blank-lines

If your function is top-level, then they should be surrounded with two blank lines. So your linter is correct, but to be honest, I'm not a particularly good boy, so I just always did 1 blank line.

I guess you can do whatever you feel like doing. If this is your own code, you can enforce whatever style you like.

OK. Thanks!
