Not necessarily, IMHO. 1. What about my example with '-> xxx' return-value annotation? (especially when that annotation is a long expression) 2. There are two argument-list-formatting idioms I apply -- depending on which is more suitable in a particular case: a) when argument specs/expressions are not very long and rather if their number is not very big: def function(argument_spec1, argument_spec2, argument_spec3, argument_spec4, argument_spec5, argument_spec6): function_call(expression1, expression2, expression3, expression4, expression5, expression6) b) for long argument lists and/or argument specs/expressions (e.g. when default values or argument annotations are defined as long expressions): def function( long_argument_spec1, long_argument_spec2, long_argument_spec3, long_argument_spec4, long_argument_spec5, long_argument_spec6, ): function_call( long_expression1, long_expression2, long_expression3, long_expression4, long_expression5, long_expression6, ) Note that option 'b' is more convenient for refactorization, diffs etc. Regards, *j _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
