Heh :) In all seriousness, sometimes, in an extremely crowded and busy expression, adding a little extra whitespace to emphasize the boundaries between sub-expressions is a good thing. And let's not forget that we can do this: >>> complex_expression = ( ... 2*x + # double the whatzit ... 1.78**(c*3-1) + # see chapter 2 of Martelli, 2008 ... sin(radians(80)) # angle between the foo and the bar ... ) -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
