Oops, it got shortened out: line longer than 72 chars, acceptable in
code, but not in email. I'll try again.

If the first line is too long, I would write it like this:

    excessblk = Block(total - P.BASE, srccol,
        carry_button_suppress=True) if total > P.BASE else None

If not, like this:

    excessblk = Block(total - P.BASE, srccol, cbs=True
        ) if total > P.BASE else None

If the condition or the last value were too long to make it all fit on
two lines, then it would probably best to revert to a plain "if"
statement.
