FWIW, I am also about +0.5 on allowing trailing comma. Note that in a
similar situation, the C standardization committee has erred on the
side of consistency:
"""
A new feature of C99: a common extension in many implementations
allows a trailing comma after the list of enumeration constants. The
Committee decided to adopt this feature as an innocuous extension that
mirrors the trailing commas allowed in initializers.
""" http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/C99RationaleV5.10.pdf
Similarly, I find allowing trailing comma in keyword only arguments
lists to be an innocuous extension that mirrors the trailing commas
allowed in the positional arguments lists.
+1 from me as well. Special cases are hard to remember.
+1. I tend to put them in, and then take out the ones that Python won't
accept.
Then, when I add another item to the list, Python tells me to go back
and put the one I took out back in again, and take out the one I put in
at the new end of the list. Annoying. (for vertically arranged lists,
one per line, primarily, with ) on the last line by itself.
