There are plenty of examples where the continuation isn't on the same line (some were already posted here).
+1 I've never used the feature and don't intent to. A related annoyance is the trailing comma at the end of stuff (probably a leftover from a previous edit). For example: def fun(a, b, c,): Parses fine. But the one that has bitten me is the comma at the end of a line:
x = 1, x
(1,)
x == 1, # inconsistency?
(False,)
x == (1,)
True
y = a_very_long_call(param1, param2, param3), # this trailing comma is difficult to spot
I'd prefer that the syntax for creating one-tuples requires the parenthesis, and that trailing commas are disallowed. Cheers, -- Juancarlo *Añez*
