I would put ']' at a new line: foo = [ 'too long', 'too long too', ... ] I don't really believe it should exist style guidelines for everything that is possible (or if it did I doubt it would matter), many/most people adapt the guidelines to fetch their own style. That is not really a problem if you are consistent during all the code, and if it is not too ugly as well =) > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- -- Guilherme H.
