The converse applies in my case, so that actually doesn't matter to me. When I don't put it in, I don't put it in anywhere. What does matter to me is that I rarely make spelling errors (including typos) or omit internal spaces. That means I can get away with not reading strings carefully most of the time, and I don't. But omitted space at the joins of a continued string is frequent, and frequently caught when I'm following skimming down a suite to the next syntactic construct. But spaces at end never will be. Ie, space-at-beginning makes for more effective review for me. YMMV. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
