Being an old-timer, I was brought up on languages like COBOL, where programmers
love to line up MOVE, COMPUTE and some other statements. I still do that when
I write COBOL, as it is expected by other programmers and somehow just seems
right.
But I resist the urge in Python and never do it. Pr

I will sometimes line things up, if a block of assignments are related:
red = 1
green
hum i see clearly with all my python experience, i have more to learn.
i never aligned the = but i found it neat looking but discouraged by pep8.
glad i did not switch to it and maintained it for sometimes !
thanks for answers !

Because when you add a new variable:
my_mousepads = 6
you then have t
hi just a quick question, why is
my_pens = 4
my_pencils = 5
is preffered to
my_pens = 4
my_pencils = 5
*referring to = symbol alignment
