def foo():
return
thing.goes.here()
is illegal Python; and wouldn't result in a line-join by my proposal.
However:
def foo():
return "A long piece of text (Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur
adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna
aliqua.)" +
thing.goes.here()
would work by my proposal and avoid the extra parentheses that are currently
needed.
