What I or you prefer carries very little weight. I know layout-things
stir up a lot of bad feeling, but I honostly think those people should
grow up. When I cooperate in a project, I adapt my style to the one
used in the project. I may use a tool to change between styles for
things I work on an back when I register my piece or I may just write
in the project style, depending on what goes easiest.

Well you can't control the languages used either. Personnaly I find
difference in style a very minor issue compared to difference of
language or difference of development environment. If you so
much need the strict layout python imposes, I start to question
whether you are flexible enough for programming.
