Now it makes sense to me... i thought that the commas was responsable for line continuation because this is how we usually separate the functions arguments and list/tuple/dictionary items. I never thought that this would work:

>>> d = {'foo':
...      'bar',
...      'bar':
...      'foo' }
 
But it works indeed ;)

I think my PEP is getting more and more nonsensical... I give up! Thanks for your advice guys,
