<p>
    When raising an exception, use "raise ValueError('message')"
    instead of the older form "raise ValueError, 'message'".
</p><p>
    The paren-using form is preferred because when the exception arguments
    are long or include string formatting, you don't need to use line
    continuation characters thanks to the containing parentheses.  The older
    form will be removed in Python 3000.

<p>
    Run all the tests from a file.
</p><p>
    A test file can provide many tests.  Each test starts with a declaration.
    This declaration is a single line starting with '#:'.
    It declares codes of expected failures, separated by spaces or 'Okay'
    if no failure is expected.
    If the file does not contain such declaration, it should pass all tests.
    If the declaration is empty, following lines are not checked, until next
    declaration.
</p><p>
    Examples:
</p><p>
     * Only E224 and W701 are expected:         #: E224 W701
     * Following example is conform:            #: Okay
     * Don't check these lines:                 #:

    Never mix tabs and spaces.
</p><p>
    The most popular way of indenting Python is with spaces only.  The
    second-most popular way is with tabs only.  Code indented with a mixture
    of tabs and spaces should be converted to using spaces exclusively.  When
    invoking the Python command line interpreter with the -t option, it issues
    warnings about code that illegally mixes tabs and spaces.  When using -tt
    these warnings become errors.  These options are highly recommended!

<p>
    JCR: Trailing whitespace is superfluous.
    FBM: Except when it occurs as part of a blank line (i.e. the line is
         nothing but whitespace). According to Python docs[1] a line with only
         whitespace is considered a blank line, and is to be ignored. However,
         matching a blank line to its indentation level avoids mistakenly
         terminating a multi-line statement (e.g. class declaration) when
         pasting code into the standard Python interpreter.
</p><p>
         [1] http://docs.python.org/reference/lexical_analysis.html#blank-lines
</p><p>
    The warning returned varies on whether the line itself is blank, for easier
    filtering for those who want to indent their blank lines.
