Running flake8 over some code which has if statements with multiple

the tool complains that the indentation of the conditions is the same
as the next block. In this particular case, the overall conditions
are too long to string together on a single line. I tried placing a
second space after the if keyword:
if (some_condition and
some_other_condition and
some_final_condition):
play_bingo()
which solves the matching indentation problem, but creates a multiple
spaces after keyword problem. My guess is that adding a space after
the open paren would provoke a message as well.
I use GNU Emacs as my text editor, and its python mode. I'm pretty
happy with everything (been using it in its current state for several
years). Aside from manually or configure-ologically suppressing E129,
is there a better way to break lines I'm missing which will make
flake8 happy?
I don't know about flake8, but pep8 says all these are acceptable though
the first version (like yours) has the readability problem flake8
complains about:
# No extra indentation.
if (this_is_one_thing and
that_is_another_thing):
do_something()
# Add a comment, which will provide some distinction in editors
# supporting syntax highlighting.
if (this_is_one_thing and
that_is_another_thing):
# Since both conditions are true, we can frobnicate.
do_something()
# Add some extra indentation on the conditional continuation line.
if (this_is_one_thing
and that_is_another_thing):
do_something()
Maybe version 2 would make the tool happy?
