The correct way to shorten long for statement to a maximum of 79 columns

Question

My question is what's the most conventional way of making the following line of code:

self.steps = [setpoint_and_hold_time.setpoint for setpoint_and_hold_time in program.setpoints_and_hold_times]

to 79 character columns or less?

• According to PEP8, the maximum line length should be 79 characters.
• For long if statements I've used brackets but I'm not sure how I would use them here (if that's the solution).

Also, I assumed this line of code didn't need much background context, if it does please tell me and I'll edit in some classes that explain this line of code.

Thanks.

Answer 1

black will reformat as (PEP8 compliant and it is quite readable I think):

self.steps = [
    setpoint_and_hold_time.setpoint
    for setpoint_and_hold_time in program.setpoints_and_hold_times
]
