Given that python is a space delineated language it is important to keep spacing consistent. Now, there are way too many spaces at least for my taste. Not saying it's wrong, but adhering to the standards would make it much more readable. It still is but ideally 4 spaces should be enough for nesting. Also camel casing shouldn't be used with variables. Words should be separated with underscores if it's a method or variable and classes should be snake cased. It makes it easier for others to contribute (which I wouldn't mind doing.). The method names should be like verb_property (get_pid_name). The main reason these things are useful is that good IDE will recognize them for what they are, help with code completion and intention, doc generators will be ae to parse properly etc. It's super handy to fall in line as it just makes life easier. You can totally do what you like, and I like what you are doing. Again, I wouldn't mind helping as I'm a gearhead and use hp tuners and build some quick cars. Even writing a datalogging app that will spit out hp tuners log files from an android head unit or phone so that you can use something like obdlink mx to log to an android without keeping your expensive mpvi on the car. It's just a suggestion and it really would make dev easier.
