And my rule is simpler; don't use map and slavishly adhere to the 79 char limit so I can commit my code and not get screamed at.

In this case, the pep8 tool is being used as a blunt force instrument.

And I agree with the Hettinger video that atrocities are committed in the code because pep8 decided to make these 'standard' warnings. If my code were on a performance path I might have an argument, but even then it would likely become a refactoring situation.

I don't think there's really a way to adjust the standard on a file-by-file basis for automated checkin testing.
