Re: [Python-Dev] Multiline with statement line continuation

I think this thread is probably Python-Ideas territory... On Mon, Aug 11, 2014 at 4:08 PM, Allen Li <cyberdupo56@gmail.com> wrote:

Currently, this works with explicit line continuation, but as all style guides favor implicit line continuation over explicit, it would be nice if you could do the following:

with (open('foo') as foo, open('bar') as bar, open('baz') as baz, open('spam') as spam, open('eggs') as eggs): pass

The parentheses seem unnecessary/redundant/weird. Why not allow newlines in-between "with" and the terminating ":"? with open('foo') as foo, open('bar') as bar, open('baz') as baz: pass -- Devin
