Yes, I even pointed out how it's in PEP 8.

That I think it's wrong and ugly is an entirely different point.

PEP 8 specifically says it it not universal:

> Many projects have their own coding style guidelines. In the event of any conflicts, such project-specific guides take precedence for that project. ...

> However, know when to be inconsistent – sometimes style guide recommendations just aren’t applicable. When in doubt, use your best judgment. ...

> Some other good reasons to ignore a particular guideline:

> When applying the guideline would make the code less readable, even for someone who is used to reading code that follows this PEP.

I think always omitting spaces there makes it less readable, even for someone who is used to reading PEP 8.

That makes me more compliant to PEP 8 than black. ;)
