Guido sees the light: PEP 8 updated

Sat Apr 16 00:38:09 EDT 2016

Until now, PEP 8 has recommended that multi-line expressions should break
*after* infix operators:
result = (this_value *
 some_value +
 another_value -
 excess_value or
 default_value
 )
After a mercifully short discussion on the Python-Ideas mailing list, Guido
has been persuaded to change PEP 8 to recommend that the break should occur
*before* the infix operator:
result = (this_value 
 * some_value
 + another_value
 - excess_value
 or default_value
 )
This makes me happy :-)
