Yeah but now the second line of code is to the right of the whole first
line of code. "if foo" must have been too short to illustrate it (it's
long enough if a tab is four spaces, but I guess it's longer in the
sample), but I assumed you would get the concept of what I was saying
and try putting something longer there or try extending the comments in
the C code the sample preloads.

Like, it ends up looking like this:

if foo("what if it's a much longer condition"):                # comment
                                                 do something  #
                                                 comment2

There's no way to get this:

if foo("what if it's a much longer condition"):  # comment
    do something                                 # comment2
