The argument to write() is an expression. This expression contains the %
operator with both of its operands. It's still fully within the
parentheses of write(), so I think Philippe's question is valid.

The PEP-8 examples are not nested, so it's not completely clear. I
wonder if hanging indents wouldn't actually mean the following because
if you line wrap an argument list (which contains the whole %
expression), you're supposed to have nothing else on the line of the
opening parenthesis:
sys.stderr.write(
'qemu-img received signal %i: %s\n'
% (-exitcode, ' '.join(qemu_img_args + list(args))))
But anyway, I think the question is more whether we want to use hanging
indents at all (or at least if we want to use it even in cases where the
opening parenthesis isn't already at like 70 characters) when we're
avoiding it in our C coding style.
There's no technical answer to this, it's a question of our preferences.

PEP-8 suggests the former, but allows both styles:

I'll accept any colour for the bikeshed, as long as it's green. ;-)
