The admonition applies not only to ‘if’ conditions, but also to ‘while’, ‘with’, ‘for’, etc.; and also to bracketing constructs like function calls, literal lists/dicts/sets, etc. In a single statement, the indentation for continuation lines should be indented two levels, so that they don't look so much like a new block of statements. -- \ “If you do not trust the source do not use this program.” | `\ —Microsoft Vista security dialogue | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
