Not so sure I agree. Python doesn't need them, but I often find code easier to parse when the scope of binary operators is made clear via parens. The precedence order of python is just one more thing to recall (and is fighting for space in my head with precedence orders for a bunch of formal languages). A bit of extra typing can save a second or cognitive lag each time the line is read. Best, Brian vdB
