Often the line will break ok without a backslash, but I don't feel any particular pain in using a backslash in the other cases. I do pretty rigorously try to keep all lines shorter than 72 columns or so, unless there's a long literal like a url. Even such a literal would probably only occur in throwaway code. Any specific url in longer-lasting code should probably be read from a configuration file rather than being hard coded. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
