But now the continuation line indentation is needlessly dependent on the
content of the previous line.
Better to just use a standard additional indentation (I prefer 8 columns
to easily distinguish from block indentation) for any continuation
line::
cur.executemany(
"INSERT INTO foobar_foobar_files VALUES (?)", [
[os.path.relpath(filename, foobar_input_folder)]
for filename in filenames])
Notice that further continuation within an existing continuation doesn't
get another 8, but only another 4 columns. The whole statement is
already distinguished, I don't need to add huge amounts of further
indentation for that purpose.

In cases where the line is long because of a long expression, enclosing
that expression in parens for clarification will then give you an easy
way to break for continuation lines::
if (
os.path.join(root, file) not in previously_processed_files
and os.path.join(root, file)[:-3] not in
previously_processed_files):
But that's still some long lines, and your repeated use of a computed
value is an ideal opportunity to bind it to a convenience name for local
use::
file_path = os.path.join(root, file)
if (
file_path not in previously_processed_files
and file_path[:-3] not in previously_processed_files):
Not least because you're very likely going to use the value of
‘file_path’ yet again in the body of that ‘if’ block.
