Should be a simple fix, I'll try my hand at it and submit a PR.

This issue should be fixed by #335

[martinffx]

ahh, was about to submit that exact fix as a PR. Any reason it hasn't been merged? Has the author not update with the PEP8 comment?

[femtotrader]

I can't merge PRs that don't pass all unit tests
and I'm quite busy this year to fix all tests
