Well I think Charles' Point about making the equations look like the ones in the paper(s) is a pretty good one. That is a special case in that the code becomes clearer when it conformes to the standards of the domain it is referring to; it is not meant to be understood by itself but rather in conjunction with documents that motivate it. Or in short: Breaking it into n>1 lines would make it more readable but would break the connection with the form given in the papers. (Yes, of course you can refer to the eq. in a comment but believe me: if you're used to seeing a certain (form of) equation, your mind will trip over any variation. That is best avoided.) ... my 2 sents, anyway ... /W -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
