wow! just looked at that part of the PEP again, and that is a LOT of
options. 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:
One arg per line is definitely permitted either when lining up with the
first arg on the first line or with hanging indents.
foo = long_function_name(var_one,
var_two,
var_three,
var_four)
In a fixed-pitch font, you have too many spaces for lines after the
first. One advantage of hanging indent is that all arg lines have the
same indent and thus the args line up regardless of the font. Hanging
indents also give more space for default or named args and comments.
I would agree with having at least one example done with one arg per line.
