Define functions with too many arguments to abide by PEP8 standard

Question

I have defined a function with a long list of arguments. The total characters in definition is above 80 and doesn\'t abide by PEP8.

def my_function(argument_one,         


        

Answer 1

For Python code that uses type annotations, I suggest this:

def some_func(
    foo: str,
    bar: str = 'default_string',
    qux: Optional[str] = None,
    qui: Optional[int] = None,
) -> List[str]:
    """
    This is an example function.
    """
    print(foo)
    ...

If you use yapf you can use these options in .style.yapf:

[style]
dedent_closing_brackets = true
split_arguments_when_comma_terminated = true
