FYI, I've submitted this change to PEP 8, with the help of a draft patch by Steven Klass. --Guido On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 7:23 AM, Guido van Rossum <guido@python.org> wrote:
At Google we use the following rule (from http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.html#Indentation):
Yes: # Aligned with opening delimiter foo = long_function_name(var_one, var_two, var_three, var_four)
# 4-space hanging indent; nothing on first line foo = long_function_name( var_one, var_two, var_three, var_four)
No: # Stuff on first line forbidden foo = long_function_name(var_one, var_two, var_three, var_four)
# 2-space hanging indent forbidden foo = long_function_name( var_one, var_two, var_three, var_four)
I propose we somehow incorporate these two allowed alternatives into PEP 8. They both serve a purpose.
