[Python-3000] PEP-3125 -- remove backslash continuation (original) (raw)

Incidentally, I know one Python programmer who writes list literals like this:

mylist = [ 1 , 2 , 3 ] In a fixed-width font, the commas and brackets are all in the same column. While "bleech" is the proper reaction ;-), that does work fine today.

Sounds like another argument in favor of not treating comma as an operator (because it can end a statement) but keeping the open-bracket rule.
