The period is a full-stop punctuation mark, but visually obscure [1].
It is small. This does not make it hard to notice, however. Not to
mention that it will usually be followed by a capitalized letter, which
further highlights it. Commas usually use more pixels or ink and the
tiny size of the period makes it quite distinguishable to me.
This email-based "tennis" match could go on for quite a while as Guido
pointed out and there are several good points for both sides. This is
not a critic to the thread, which regarded PEP 7/8 and seems perfectly
fine. This is also not a critic to Cannon's view on this.
Who is right in the end? ~One space defenders~ Nobody. There is no
single right solution to this. As there is no single right decision
regarding tabs or spaces~, except for spaces, always use spaces~.
Consistency is what really matters (assuming we agree that one space is
enough to make it visible).
