[Python-ideas] Re: Syntax proposal of for..in..if in regular for loops

What I said: "Python, for good or ill, is an opinionated language regarding indentation and statements." And then Greg refuted something I never said:

So if Python is opinionated about line lengths, it's rather selectively opinionated.

The Python language isn't opinionated about line lengths, except as a coding standard. So whatever point you think you are making about line lengths, it is not refuting anything I have said. PEP 8 isn't mandatory, but lots of people follow it. Even those who don't still try to avoid writing 800-column lines. Greg, I trust that you will agree that even if the interpreter allows them, long one-liners with semicolons are not considered Pythonic. -- Steve
