I prefer parentheses. They are not nearly as fragile.
So do I, but the other day I had occasion to write a small piece of VBScript, and I discovered that it actually *forbids* parens around the arguments to procedure calls (but not function calls). Fortunately, it requires (or at least allows, not sure which) commas between the args, so things aren't as bad as they *could* be. Also fortunately, the error message was, by the usual standard of Microsoft error messages, remarkably helpful. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
