multi line if statement

Feb 6th, 2009

This may be a stupid question but..

I am trying to do something like this....

 Help with Code Tags 
 Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
if not something and
   not somethineElse and
   not someOtherThing and
   not thisThing:
     print "asdf"
if not something and
   not somethineElse and
   not someOtherThing and
   not thisThing:
     print "asdf"

and i get an invalid syntax error. so how do you do that properly? google wasn't much help.

Relax, it's not a stupid question. Here's the proper syntax:

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
if not something  \
   not somethineElse and \
   not someOtherThing and \
   not thisThing:
     print "asdf"
if not something  \
   not somethineElse and \
   not someOtherThing and \
   not thisThing:
     print "asdf"

You can use \ anywhere you need to continue a statement on the next line.

For that you could also go:

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
notList = ["list vars here"]
if False not in [not var for var in notList]:
   #do stuff
notList = ["list vars here"]
if False not in [not var for var in notList]:
   #do stuff

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
