Sure but neither is if (............ \ ............ \ ............) ............ ............ ............ In other words, with or without the : if you format your if statements in an unreadable way, it will be unreadable. Nothing to do with python's syntax at all. Now, if ............ ............ ............: ............ ............ ............ isn't too bad for readability. In other words the C-ism of putting the IF predicate in parenthesis normally doesn't belong in python, though there are cases when you need to enforce a certain operator precedence, granted. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
