[Python-Dev] PEP 8 misnaming

Hello!

In the "Maximum Line Length" section of PEP 8 it says:

    "The preferred place to break around a binary operator is *after*
the operator, not before it."

And after that is an example (trimmed here):

            if (width == 0 and height == 0 and
                color == 'red' and emphasis == 'strong' or
                highlight > 100):
                raise ValueError("sorry, you lose")

In the example the line is broken after the 'and' or 'or' *keywords*,
not after the '==' *operator* (which is the nice way of doing it).

Maybe the sentence above is misleading?

Thanks!
