IMO, The way is currently is listed is more correct that more properly reflect python syntax although it is still not correct in a PEP8 standard sense since the comment doc string is empty, although this does reflect my personal coding style.

Every class and method should have a doc string if wanting to comply with PEP257 conventions.

One deviation to those standards in my coding style is that:

1. I usually provide an empty docstring when creating a method as a placeholder since it improves readability
2. I use single quotes instead of double quotes as many are projects are starting to use.

Therefore the expected change here should be to add a docstring. Maybe you can create that whonix-next tag and add this item to that tag?

Agreed. Will update this ticket now.
