You operate as a good Python compiler :)
Actually, this is a key insight, which I just mentioned in a private response to Steve. How about this for the rule: If the hanging line ends in a colon, then double-indent (or "more-ly indented") seems appropriate. If not, then a single indent is sufficient. That handles cases like this, where double indent makes sense: def some_really_long_function_name( an_argument, another_argument, and_a_third_argument): foo() --- if some_really_long_function_name( an_argument, another_argument, and_a_third_argument): foo() --- and these cases where a single indent is fine: x = some_really_long_function_name( an_argument, another_argument, and_a_third_argument) foo(x) --- d = dict( a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4) return d Does that cover it? -Barry
