Hi there,
I've hit a little issue when writing a multiline statement in spyder and I
was wondering if this is something undesirable (i.e., a bug) or if I'm
doing something wrong. It happened when I was editing a longer than usual
list comprehension and decided to break it up in multiple lines to stay
under the 78-characters limit. I have simplified the code to this.
Suppose you have the following lines:
a = [n for n in range(100)
if n != 0
and n % 5 == 0]
and you want to add yet another condition after the second line, like this:
a = [n for n in range(100)
if n != 0
and n % 2 == 0 *#(<-- new condition)*
and n % 5 == 0]
What happens is that if you hit return at the end of the second line, the
editor inserts a colon as the last character and opens up a new line with
an extra indentation. That is, what I get just after hitting return is
a = [n for n in range(100)
if n != 0: *#(<-- note the colon)*
_ *#(<-- blinking cursor after the extra indentation)*
and n % 5 == 0]
I have the 'automatic insertion of colons...' option set in my preferences.
If it is not set, this doesn't happen.
This may look like a contrived example, but it actually happened to me in a
situation where I already had 3 levels of indentation and the variables all
had somewhat long names. Nevertheless, I have noticed it only recently,
after more a year of heavy spyder use.
I have tested against versions 2.3.0beta4, 2.2.5 and 2.2.1 (this last one
from Kubuntu 13.10). Trying to report an issue from withing spyder gives
the following information:
Spyder Version: 2.3.0beta4
Python Version: 2.7.5+
Qt Version : 4.8.4, PySide 1.1.2 on Linux
IPython >=0.13 : 0.13.2 (OK)
pyflakes >=0.5.0: 0.7.3 (OK)
pep8 >=0.6 : 1.4.6 (OK)
pygments >=1.6 : 1.6 (OK)
sphinx >=0.6.6 : 1.1.3 (OK)
psutil >=0.3 : 0.6.1 (OK)

matplotlib >=1.0: 1.2.1 (OK)
sympy >=0.7.0 : None (NOK)
pylint >=0.25 : 0.26.0 (OK)
Is this really a bug? Should I open an issue? Thanks for your attention.
