I used to think the same, until I got sick and tired of having my code output strings like: a very very verylong value that continues on the next line I learned the hard way that if I don't put the breaking space at the beginning of the next fragment, I probably wouldn't put it at the end of the previous fragment either. YMMV, I'm just reporting what works for me. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
