Part of a previous post:
"""
Here's the style I'd use:
combos = {
0: 'id',
2: 'country',
3: 'type',
5: 'lat',
6: 'lon',
12: 'name',
}
Put each entry on its own line, indented by two spaces, and leave a
trailing comma on the last entry. The latter is especially important
in sequences of strings to prevent them from being
"silently"<=>"concatenated" if you were to add an entry and forget the
comma.
"""
When I first saw this I thought it would lead to a syntax error so tried
it out..
Then played with it to try to recreate the '"silently"<=>"concatenated"'
problem but couldn't. I like this syntax because it avoids the syntax
error if the comma is omitted when adding an entry but I don't understand
the (potential) concatenation problem.
Could you explain please?
