Hi, I have a question about breaking up really long lines of code in Python.
I have the following line of code:
log.msg("Item wrote to MongoDB database %s/%s" %(settings['MONGODB_DB'],
settings['MONGODB_COLLECTION']), level=log.DEBUG, spider=spider)
Given the fact that it goes off very far to the right on my screen is not
terribly
pleasing to my eyes (and can be rude for other developers).
I was thinking of splitting it up like so:
log.msg("Item wrote to MongoDB database %s/%s"
%(settings['MONGODB_DB'], settings['MONGODB_COLLECTION']),
level=log.DEBUG, spider=spider)
Is this ok? Are there any rules in Python when it comes to breaking up
long lines of
code?

There are guidelines in the PEP8 document:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
Check out the section entitled 'Code lay-out'.
