Python coding convention "Wrong continued indentation before block: found by pylint

I used pylint to check my python code, and found this convention problem:

C:11, 0: Wrong continued indentation before block.
                    + this_time <= self.max):
                    ^   | (bad-continuation)

I tried to refine for times but the problem is still present, can someone help? Thanks!

if len(remaining_obj_list) > 0:
    for i in a_list:
        this_time = self.__get_time(i)
        for remaining_obj in remaining_obj_list:
            if (remaining_obj.get_time() # to fit 78 char rule
                + this_time <= self.max):
                i.append(remaining_obj)
                remaining_obj.set_used(True)
        if 0 == len(self.__get_unused_list):
            break
Solution

  • Pylint doesn't want such continuation to start on the same column as the next indentation block. Also, notice that the message includes a hint on columns that it considers correct.
