Here is a set of patches which clean a few minor things: add spaces after if/while/return/etc, remove spaces after class/function name, remove redundant parens after if/while/return/etc. One set contains only space changes, another set contains parens changes.

[orsenthil]

Looks good in most of the places, but at some places the parenthesis are of
course helpful for cohesiveness, and this can be quite subjective. With
these patches, are you in general removing all instances of parenthesis
when it is not required or also considering for places where parens may
help while reading the code?

+1 for the space changes patches.

For me none of these parens help while reading the code (but this is quite subjective). I not object if only a part of these changes will be applied. Review the patches and point what changes should be applied and what changes should not.

[jcea]

How about innecessary code churn?

[jcea]

I elaborate: bpo-15580. An example of many.

Here is another recent comment from Georg on this topic:

"And please don't commit cosmetic/"cleanup" changes to bugfix branches in the future."

(from http://bugs.python.org/issue16793#msg178372 )

[ezio-melotti]

I'm -1 on this, however parts of the patches could be extracted and applied on individual modules in the 'default' branch only. This could be done by the modules' maintainers if they think it's OK.

Note that while it's generally not OK doing this kind of refactoring on the code in maintenance branches, it's usually acceptable doing so for the documentation.

[serhiy-storchaka]

Agreed. Maintainers of asynchat, tkinter.tix, optparse and difflib must pay attention to this.

[giampaolo]

Ok for asyncore/asynchat in 3.4 branch.
