Actually, this is a key insight, which I just mentioned in a private response
to Steve. How about this for the rule:
If the hanging line ends in a colon, then double-indent (or "more-ly
indented") seems appropriate. If not, then a single indent is sufficient.
That handles cases like this, where double indent makes sense:
def some_really_long_function_name(
an_argument,
another_argument,
and_a_third_argument):
foo()
---
if some_really_long_function_name(
an_argument,
another_argument,
and_a_third_argument):
foo()
---
and these cases where a single indent is fine:
x = some_really_long_function_name(
an_argument,
another_argument,
and_a_third_argument)
foo(x)
---
d = dict(
a=1,
b=2,
c=3,
d=4)
return d
Does that cover it?
