Why not follow the "Style Guild for Python Code"(PEP 8)

[KarlManong]

Thank U for ur job.
When i'm reading ur codes, i was confused the code style, such as:

        nodetype        = start_node.nodeName.lower()
        name            = start_node.getAttribute('name').lower()
        context         = start_node.getAttribute('context').lower()
        mutex           = start_node.getAttribute('mutex').lower()
        cancel          = start_node.getAttribute('cancel').lower()
        success         = start_node.getAttribute('success').lower()
        times           = start_node.getAttribute('times').lower()
        times_field     = start_node.getAttribute('times-field').lower()
        threshold       = start_node.getAttribute('threshold').lower()
        threshold_field = start_node.getAttribute('threshold-field').lower()
        file            = start_node.getAttribute('file').lower()
        file_field      = start_node.getAttribute('file-field').lower()

see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#id16

and

type(context) != type([])

just use

isinstance(context, list)

and

_spec_map.has_key(child_node.nodeName.lower()):

just use

child_node.nodeName.lower() in _spec_map

.
Thank U.

Not worth the effort IMO, though I may accept patches.
