When I write an if statement with many conditions, I prefer to use a

the example from the style guide (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/
pep-0008/) I would write:
if (width == 0 and
height == 0 and
color == 'red' and
emphasis == 'strong' or
highlight> 100):
raise ValueError("sorry, you lose")
While it's not PEP material, I tend to use the coding standards I
learned working for Computer Sciences Corporation (10 yrs ago, so
things may have changed) that mandated 2 levels of indentation
for continued lines, turning the above into
if (width == 0 and
height == 0 and
color == 'red' and
emphasis == 'strong' or
highlight> 100):
# or the closing "):" on this line,
# aligned with the previous line
raise ValueError("sorry, you lose")
which is fairly close to Jean-Michel's proposal.
