Hi, This is a mini-proposal I piggy-tailed in the other topic:
Allow the conditions in the if-, elif-, while-, for-, and with-clauses to span multiple lines without using a backlalsh at the end of a line, just like when you specify literal lists, tuples, dicts, etc. across multiple lines (similar to comprehensions too). My reasons: because they all must end with a required colon ':', so nobody will mistake it. also, if we don't allow it, people just have to use parenthesis around the expressions to make that happen. Just a half-baked idea, appreciate all comments. Yingjie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
