How does Python know that the next line is the continuation of your if
statement, instead of the beginning of a new line of code? You didn't
do anything to indicate continuation, so it takes this as an incomplete
statement. "If ... stuff ... or... (or what??)"
You need to END that line with a backslash
if (abs(...height()/2) or \
...continuation...:
or else make the line break INSIDE a set of parentheses, for Python to
keep looking to the next line(s) to complete the statement.
