Choose: (a). In (b) I have a problem matching identifiers to values horizontally at a glance and in (c) I have the same problem vertically: i.e. "is 3 the value for residue or crude above/to-the-left?" Cognitive burden slows down and fatigues. Alternatively, if the data "fits together", use a `namedtuple` with kwarg initialisation or structured data types like `dataclasses`. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
