Hi all,

I'm wondering what advice you have about formatting if statements with
long conditions (I always format my code to <80 colums)

Here's an example taken from something I'm writing at the moment and
how I've formatted it:


        if (isinstance(left, PyCompare) and isinstance(right, PyCompare)
                and left.complist[-1] is right.complist[0]):
            py_and = PyCompare(left.complist + right.complist[1:])
        else:
            py_and = PyBooleanAnd(left, right)

What would you do?
