Is it impossible to come to any consensus on this? And as it happens, my favorite is not in there, though as far as I can tell not forbidden: foo = long_function_name(var_one, var_two, var_three, var_four) That is, I find that if the argument list is too long for one line, then splitting it out to only one argument per line is much more readable to me. This becomes more important with default parameters: foo = long_function_name(var_one, var_two=a_value, var_three=some_other_value, var_four=(a, tuple, of, values) ) as with more information in each argument, it's a lot more clear where one starts and the other begins. And it provides a nice place for comments: foo = long_function_name(var_one, var_two=a_value, # because default doesn't frobnicate in this case var_three=some_other_value, var_four=(a, tuple, of, values) ) Anyway -- is there a point in trying to standardize this a bit more in PEP8, or has that battle long since been fought and conceded ? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
