bringing this back (closer to) on lopic:Are you suggesting that we add syntax to Python that makes it easier to keep the number of levels of indentation down?Because when you have a method in a class, you've already lost 1/10 or your line. then you have a for, and an if, and a with, and you've used up 5/8 of the line.However, if you are talking about the readability of and individual not-so long line, then I'd say you can ignore the 8 spaces that got you into the method, and we're now at a 88 char line :-)-Chris BOn Sun, Feb 7, 2021 at 11:09 PM Chris Angelico <rosuav@gmail.com> wrote:On Mon, Feb 8, 2021 at 6:04 PM David Mertz <mertz@gnosis.cx> wrote:
