Indeed. I don't understand why, when splitting a condition such as
this,
people tend to put the operator at the end of each line.
Because PEP8 says:
The preferred place to break around a binary operator is after the
operator, not before it. http://pep8.org/#maximum-line-length
PEP 8 is wrong :-)
Yes, I agree. In my mind the logic is:-
IF xxx
AND yyy AND zzz OR aaa
THEN do something
The PEP8 correct(er):-
IF xxx AND
yyy AND zzz OR aaa
THEN do something
... just seems all wrong and difficult to understand.
not at all
the split after the operator shows that their is more to that line
splitting before & the reader could believe that the condition ends there
PEP 8 is mos definitely correct on this one
I disagree. When I'm skimming over code, I find it unlikely that I'll
read the last token of the line. That's where trivialities like
arguments to function calls are found. It's much more likely that I'll
read the first token of the next line.
And, as any pythonista knows: The conditions aren't over until the
indentation changes. ;)
