At least one standard (four-column) indentation level further than the opening line.
Still overly strict. Consider:
f(long_named_argument_one, calculated_value_two(with_arguments), another_argument)
The two-space indent is perfectly reasonable here
Maybe so; I'm not saying it's unreasonable. I'm saying it's *more* reasonable to not have the indentation level depend on the opening line. This generally involves breaking the opening line at a bracketing token, such as ‘"""’, ‘(’, ‘[’, etc., as Carl's suggestion showed, so there's no parameter on that line for lining up. Also, that function needs to be renamed to something more descriptive :-) -- \ “Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray.” —anonymous | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney
