Hi,

Also, forgot two other examples that are causing me grief:

     cur.executemany("INSERT INTO foobar_foobar_files VALUES (?)",
                     [[os.path.relpath(filename, foobar_input_folder)] for 
filename in filenames])

I've already broken it up using the parentheses, not sure what's the tidy way to break it 
up again to fit under 80? In this case, the 80-character mark is hitting me around the 
"for filename" towards the end.

    file_values = [
        (os.path.relpath(filename, foobar_input_folder),)
        for filename in filenames
    ]
    cur.executemany(
        "INSERT INTO foobar_foobar_files VALUES (?)",
        file_values
    )


and:

                     if os.path.join(root, file) not in 
previously_processed_files and os.path.join(root, file)[:-3] not in 
previously_processed_files:

In this case, the 80-character mark is actually partway through "previously 
processed files" (the first occurrence)...

    full_file = os.path.join(root, file)
    full_not_in = full_file not in previously_processed_files
    tail_not_in = full_file[:-3] not in previously_processed_files
    if full_not_in and tail_not_in:
        ...

This has the advantage of naming these complex intermediate conditions, and giving you natural places to write comments explaining them. Why [:-3] for example?

More, shorter, statements.

Cheers,
Victor
