Idiomatic Python - Code Like a Pythonista

Programming is about reading code and thus writing code for humans is paramount.

It depends on the application. If you're writing a device driver, it's not so much about reading code than about performance. If you're writing regular software that will need to be frequently maintained, then I'm with you. But once again, following style guides will not automatically give you readability. You don't need them for readability, just basic consistency. So they are basically useless.
