How do you include newlines in a python list unpack?

Question

for row in rows:
    a, b, c = row

is nice but

for row in rows:
    alpha, beta, charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot, gamma, horseshoe, indigo, jimmy, killshot = row

is not very nice. Python is usually good about supporting newlines after commas but I can't figure out the syntax for this one. Something like this would be nice:

for row in rows:
    alpha, 
    beta, 
    charlie, 
    delta, 
    echo, 
    foxtrot, 
    gamma, 
    horseshoe, 
    indigo, 
    jimmy, 
    killshot = row

What is the PEP 8 way to handle this, since long lines are anti-PEP 8?

Answer 1

Use parentheses:

for row in rows:
    (alpha, 
     beta, 
     charlie, 
     delta, 
     echo, 
     foxtrot, 
     gamma, 
     horseshoe, 
     indigo, 
     jimmy, 
     killshot) = row

Personally, I'd probably use more than one item per line (breaking where the lines get long, or where there's a logical change in the meaning of the items), but as long as you're consistent I think the style above would be fine too.
