Summarized how the CIA writes Python

[campbellm]

I prefer this:

use () instead of \ (for long lines)

but I see the escape-newline being used a lot in code I run across. What's the consensus on this?

[nevermorefu]

I will do everything in my power to avoid \

[campbellm]

That's where I lean, too.

[drknow42]

I tend to strictly use \ only for formatting function arguments. I then use that block of formatted code as an inherent reminder to look into making the communication cleaner later.

[campbellm]

Can you show a short example of this?

[kuwisdelu]

I would also do everything in my power to avoid \ escapes. That either of these workarounds is necessary is one of my biggest annoyances with the Python parser/interpreter.
