>On the other hand, this is just as bad: [ ( y ) for ( x , y ) in [ ( "foo" , 2 ) , ( "bar" , 4 ) ] if "foo" in ( x ) ] And I'd hate to have to remember all of the rules for what can go together and what can't, especially when it comes time to debug. No. I don't think it should be forced, but maybe put it in PEP8 or PEP3008. Also, the only thing I find thoroughly disagreeable in all of that mess, is the run-ins involving " characters. The rest are at least clear at a glance what belongs where. Also, would you require the following? my_function (swallow='European') Because that is just an awful use of whitespace.
