# We don't ignore PEP8 warnings without a good reason,
# or at least a documented snivelling excuse.
# Let's aim for this section to shrink now.

# E266 "too many leading '#' for block comment"
#   Excuse: Andrew uses ^\s*## for folding Python code in Vim.

# W503 "line break before binary operator"
#   Reason: we do this because the underlying PEP-8 advice is
#   actively harmful to code readability.
#   Ref: http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/slides/2012-11-pyconca/
#   House style: we suggest you break formulae before binary operators.

# E251 "unexpected spaces around keyword / parameter equals"
#   Reason: bound variable assignments like these
#   are easier to read with spaces around the "=",
#   when a function call is split over multiple lines.
#   MyPaint's codebase uses a lot of GObject/PyGI calls,
#   which have notoriously long function and method names.
#   PyGI now deprecates many non-keyword assignments too.
#   The only pretty way of dealing with this
#   is to split calls over multiple lines.
#   House style: spaces areound equals signs are allowed,
#   but only this style for calls to things. Never function defs.

# E226 "missing whitespace around arithmetic operator"
#   Reason: being able to see the wood for the trees.
#   This has been our house style for way too long
#   for it to be fixed on a first pass for the very mathematically
#   involved modules.
#   It doesn't add *that* much to readability, either (IMO).
#   Maybe once everything else is compliant, we'll look at this again.
