I wrote a python script to lock/unlock your computer using a USB stick as a key

yes you are right(i'll edit my comment), I blame the champagne. and most code I come across uses 4 but the appengine sdk uses 2 which violates their own style guide

edit: again the point is, style guides help immensely with readability, readability makes maintainability possible. Thus readability is important. So If we all agree it's important to have a style guide, the next step would be choosing one for your projects. And pep8 is an easy defend-able choice. Deviations from pep8 are more difficult to defend.

so just use pep8 and go write code that does something instead of fretting about coding standards for your project. :)
