PEP 8 currently lacks any suggestions for how multi-line generator expressions and list comprehensions should be formatted. In the absence of any official style suggestion (that I can find), I suggest the style used the most in the standard library. [<expression> for <target_list> in <container> if <condition>] Note, lines could still be combined where it makes sense, eg, the first two lines could be combined if they aren't too long. -- "Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things." - Terry Pratchett

But that amounts to simply respecting the line length limit and using logical breakpoints. I don't think that requires a special mention in PEP 8. cheers, Georg
