There are several<br> ways to do it, this is my preferred version:<br> <div class="im"><br> python = [<br> "Easy to read",<br> "Fast to code",<br> "Quick to learn",<br> </div> "Modular and object oriented",<br> ]<br> <br> The reason I prefer this is because it makes it easy to edit the list,<br> specifically including the trailing comma on the last element. (E.g.<br> it's much easier to delete the first list element than when you put it<br> next to the opening bracket -- just delete the line.) It's also easy to<br> read because the beginning and end of the list are highly visible. I<br> prefer to indent only one level rather than matching up the beginning and<br> ending brackets because that gives more line length to the list contents.<br> <font color="#888888">--<br> Aahz (<a href="mailto:aahz@pythoncraft.com">aahz@pythoncraft.com</a>) <*> <a href="http://www.pythoncraft.com/" target="_blank">http://www.pythoncraft.com/</a><br> <br> [on old computer technologies and programmers] "Fancy tail fins on a<br> brand new '59 Cadillac didn't mean throwing out a whole generation of<br> mechanics who started with model As." --Andrew Dalke<br> </font><div><div></div><div class="h5">_______________________________________________<br> Advocacy mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Advocacy@python.org">Advocacy@python.org</a><br> <a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/advocacy" target="_blank">http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/advocacy</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>--------------------------------------------------<br>Tennessee Leeuwenburg<br><a href="http://myownhat.blogspot.com/">http://myownhat.blogspot.com/</a><br>"Don't believe everything you think"<br> _______________________________________________<br>Advocacy mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Advocacy@python.org">Advocacy@python.org</a><br>http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/advocacy<br></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>----------------</div><div>Roy Smith</div><div><a href="mailto:roy@panix.com">roy@panix.com</a></div><div><br></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></body></html>
