Ezio Melotti added the comment: Attached a patch that modifies some of the example in the section.
- x = x * 2 - 1 - hypot2 = x * x + y * y + x = x*2 - 1 + hypot2 = x*x + y*y Here I used more space around operators with lower priority. - x = x*2 - 1 - hypot2 = x*x + y*y - c = (a+b) * (a-b) + x = x * 2-1 + hypot2 = x*x + y * y + c = a+b * a-b These 3 examples in the "No" section show respectively: 1) more space around the operator with higher priority; 2) inconsistent spacing around operators with the same priority; 3) misleading spacing (similar to 1); I don't think it's necessary to mention 'x * 2 - 1' in either sections, because it's not wrong, but otoh 'x*2 - 1' is a better alternative. ---------- assignee: docs@python -> ezio.melotti keywords: +patch nosy: +ezio.melotti stage: -> patch review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file27713/issue16239.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16239> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
