Dismatch between autopep8 and pep8?

[xvectorizer]

According to pep8, "However, in a slice the colon acts like a binary operator, and should have equal amounts on either side (treating it as the operator with the lowest priority). In an extended slice, both colons must have the same amount of spacing applied. Exception: when a slice parameter is omitted, the space is omitted:"

https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/#pet-peeves

However, autopep8 seems to format colon into something like: s[i: j] == s[j: 2 * j]. Based on pep8, I think it should be: s[i : j] == s[j : 2 * j].
