Hi, I've been dinking around, making a program that will find out how different factors affect what you *really* save on gas, and at the end I have it output some information, but I'm not sure what the right style for formatting is.
output = "At an average weekly savings of $%.02f, your monthly savings will be $%.02f. \n Your annual savings will be $%.02f." % (diff, monthly_savings, annual_savings) print output. As you can see, it's very much longer than the 72 characters suggested in the PEP 8 found here: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ I know it would be fairly trivial to split it up into several strings, and concatenating or printing each one. I've tried using the \ line continuation to break up the string, however that leaves the indentation inside the string. Breaking the string up with commas or even concatenation gives issues with the % operation. So my question is, what is the proper stylistic way to render my text? Also, I don't know if I just looked over it, or if it honestly didn't exist anywhere I looked for it, but I couldn't find any naming conventions for regular ol' variables. I found plenty for functions, classes, etc., so I'm not sure if my underscores are proper for my variables or if I should fix those.
