Is this the right place to propose language extensions?
Yes, especially for beginners not familiar with previous discussions.
My Python code keeps expanding rightwards, it is difficult to keep it contained within reasonable limits. But the standard line continuation \ is positively anti-Pythonic because an *invisible* white space between \ and [CR] will render it useless. How about a new Python symbol, maybe \\ that CAN have following whitespace which is ignored, so that seeing a \\ in the code forces it to continue on the next line. Has this issue been discussed already?
Yes ;=) Peter already gave the standard answers. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
