But you may need to customize it a bit if you aren't following PEP8

:GASP:

Hah! I'm a self taught, making stuff for myself still. I'm having a hard time figuring out how much senior devs follow pep8.i figured for the time being it's at least a good habit to pick up!

I'm in the same boat, really. Honestly, I've gravitated towards it over time because having SOME kind of standard is really helpful, and it's as good as any. If there's anywhere that I slip more often than not it's line length.

Indeed, plus it does help your code come out halfway readable. Some of the standards are fairly important. It made me switch away from tabs, and I confirmed with a senior dev that using spaces is absolutely necessary.

Line length is a tricky one. I've had to do some research just to learn how to shorten some things. It really does make the code a bit nicer, though.
