How can I break up this long line in Python?

Question

How would you go about formatting a long line such as this? I\'d like to get it to no more than 80 characters wide:

logger.info(\"Skipping {0} because its th         


        

Answer 1

Personally I dislike hanging open blocks, so I'd format it as:

logger.info(
    'Skipping {0} because its thumbnail was already in our system as {1}.'
    .format(line[indexes['url']], video.title)
)

In general I wouldn't bother struggle too hard to make code fit exactly within a 80-column line. It's worth keeping line length down to reasonable levels, but the hard 80 limit is a thing of the past.
