[Python-Dev] PEP 8 misnaming (original) (raw)

Hello!

In the "Maximum Line Length" section of PEP 8 it says:

"The preferred place to break around a binary operator is *after*

the operator, not before it."

And after that is an example (trimmed here):

        if (width == 0 and height == 0 and
            color == 'red' and emphasis == 'strong' or
            highlight > 100):
            raise ValueError("sorry, you lose")

In the example the line is broken after the 'and' or 'or' keywords, not after the '==' operator (which is the nice way of doing it).

Maybe the sentence above is misleading?

Thanks!
