silly question: why have no spaces around the minus but spaces around the double equals?

It is pure carelessness.

okay I wasn't sure if it was just some PEP008 I was unaware of... appreciate the honesty! It's a nice solution anyway :)

I like the one-liner you're doing with the return statement. I always forget that I can do that, and assign the result to a variable to return.

Using the try ... except block in this example avoids complex checks.

It's a very appropriate use of try\except block for solving this task, really helps you to avoid unnecessary if\else blocks at all. Well done.
