Yuck. How much time do you waste aligning assignments whenever you add or
delete or edit a variable?
Lots. It takes hours to add or delete 3 whitespaces.
Yes, you're right. It takes you five minutes to line everything up the first
time. Then you change the name of a variable, and now you have to realign
everything -- that's an extra minute gone. Then you add another line, and
have to realign again, another couple of minutes. Over the lifespan of the
program, you'll probably have spent multiple hours wasting time realigning
blocks of assignments.
Do you actually believe what you just wrote?
If yes, you should quit programming.
If not, why did you say it?

Will continue doing it.
Why? Do you think that there's a world shortage of newline characters? Is
the Enter key on your keyboard broken?
I do it because I like it.
if verbose: print var
python doesn't complain.
Hmmm. Well, that's not too bad. I thought you mean something like:
addr = getaddress(key); addr[2] = addr.upper(); print addr
which is just horrible.
I was surprised to see the PEP8 guide approve of:
"Yes: if x == 4: print x, y; x, y = y, x"
