Hi, PEP8 says that: "The preferred place to break around a binary operator is after the operator, not before it." This is ignored in the multiline if examples, and seems to generally be a bad idea as it negatively impacts clarity. For example, the following seems much clearer as the entire line does not need to be scanned to see the intent- only the start of the line is needed to see how the different properties are used for filtering: mylist = [ item for item in mylist if item['property'] == 2 and item['otherproperty'] == 'test' ] The alternative seems less clear: mylist = [ item for item in mylist if item['property'] == 2 and item['otherproperty'] == 'test' ] If this recommendation remains in force, it would be good to: 1. Follow it in the style guide. 2. Provide a rationale for it, as currently it seems arbitrary and unhelpful. Just raising this as it has bitten me a couple of times with style checkers recently. Thanks, S
