In python, I have a short comment - using the # syntax - that I want to add to a statement. It isn't important enough to be a docstring; it's just a little reminder.
The comment takes up two lines, which gives me a style decision:
Should I indent the second line of the comment to show that it is a continuation?
This is a relatively trivial issue, but I want to make sure my code is conformant to standard code styles. However, I could not find anything related to this by a google search.
Here's an example of not indenting:
# Idea 1 is a really good idea,
# uhoh I ran out of space so
# I'm using multiple lines.
# Idea 2 is also a really good
# idea, and I also ran out of
# space for this one.
Here's an example of indenting one space:
# Idea 1 is a really good idea,
# uhoh I ran out of space so
# I'm using multiple lines.
# Idea 2 is also a really good
# idea, and I also ran out of
# space for this one.
And finally, here's an example of indenting a tab:
# Idea 1 is a really good idea,
# uhoh I ran out of space so
# I'm using multiple lines.
# Idea 2 is also a really good
# idea, and I also ran out of
# space for this one.
Which one is the right style? Is there an official source that says? What do you or others you know prefer to use?
