Not to mention that it makes the code more clear for everybody reading it later. Operator precedence is a tricky thing. In part, because it's somewhat arbitrary, and in part because it changes from language to language. Using "extra" parens to make my meaning clear (to both the compiler and other humans who read the code in the future) is a simple technique which works in all languages. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
