I was wandering when I stumbled on Charsor, which generates a heatmap based on cursor positions. The same thing that I have also done two years ago, X cursor heatmap in terminal using xcinfo, but this new comer uses Tk for screen size and cursor position, and a library for heatmap.

However, none of those above is the reason of writing this post, which is the following piece of code:

import  Tkinter
from    time    import sleep
from    time    import strftime
import  heatmap
import  os

# [snip] #

# Thanks mouad
screenWidth = cursor.winfo_screenwidth()
screenHeight = cursor.winfo_screenheight()

Ive seen many Python codes, all in different styles, and I thought I have seen all, because aligning variable assignments are nothing new to me, I must have seen one or two. Or those spaces wrapping inside of parentheses like some C or PHP codes. Really, I thought I have seen all.

But, never in my life I have ever seen a code that has had the import statements all align up as if its for the commander-in-chief to inspect. Truth is, this kind of style has never occurred in my mind.

And, I must address this, I do not object any Python coding styles as long as its consistent throughout the codes. If you are a PEP 8 firm believer, please do not go scolding this author, take a cold shower to chill. PEP 8 is not the Gods words, there is still a huge distance between God and our BDFL.

Hmm, two space and one space gaps, interesting.
