Surely this is being overly pedantic. This line isn't even 80 characters long, yet you turn this 2-line statement into a 4-line statement. Vertical spacing matters and this is wasting it for the sake of applying a rigid rule.

I also don't like the ) on a separate line. Some automated pep8 script might allow it, but it's highly unorthodox and makes the function call look like a data-structure initialization.

Same thing everywhere else where these things apply.
