The spaced-out version is more `PEP 8`_ compliant. Under "Whitespace in Expressions and Statements -> Other Recommendations" it says "Use spaces around arithmetic operators" and gives a few examples of "Yes" usage that look much like the OP's usage. That said, I also tend to omit the spaces around multiplicative operators (though I'm slowly training myself out of that). As you say, in the end, this is really a matter of personal preference. .. _PEP 8: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
