Re: Proof that \ is a better line joiner than parenthetical sets

One or more spaces behind a \ used for joining a multi-line statement can already generate a SyntaxError exception. 2:1 for paranthesis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Proof that \ is a better line joiner than parenthetical sets

Goofy post of the day... According to the Zen of Python, "explicit is better than implicit", and the section in the Reference Manual describing the \ line joiner is called "Explicit line joining" and the section describing parentheticals is called "Implicit line joining." So there! ;) -- ht
