That's (IMHO) gross to look at. Too much information on one line
(especially your sys.platform example). The indent will be all off:
class Foo:
if sys.platform == 'foo': def bar(self):
do stuff
Having the method name physically further to the right than the method
body just doesn't feel Pythonic. The nice thing about indenting is that
everything likes up how you'd except it, quick glance and you know
what's what.
