I have a question about best practices when it comes to line wrapping/ continuation and indentation, specifically in the case of an if statement.
When I write an if statement with many conditions, I prefer to use a parenthesis around the whole block and get the implicit continuation, rather than ending each line with an escape character. Thus, using the example from the style guide (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/ pep-0008/) I would write: if (width == 0 and height == 0 and color == 'red' and emphasis == 'strong' or highlight > 100): raise ValueError("sorry, you lose") The problem should be obvious -- it's not easy to see where the conditional ends and the statement begins since they have the same indentation. Part of the problem, I suppose, is that Emacs indents 'height' and the other lines in the conditional to 4 spaces (because of the parenthesis). How do people deal with this situation?
