    Also, beware of writing if x when you really mean if x is not None --
    e.g. when testing whether a variable or argument that defaults to None was
    set to some other value.  The other value might have a type (such as a

</p><p>
    When using a hanging indent these considerations should be applied:
    - there should be no arguments on the first line, and

Avoid explicit line join between brackets.

    The preferred way of wrapping long lines is by using Python's implied line
    continuation inside parentheses, brackets and braces.  Long lines can be
    broken over multiple lines by wrapping expressions in parentheses.  These
    should be used in preference to using a backslash for line continuation.

Read and parse configurations.

    If a config file is specified on the command line with the "--config"
    option, then only it is used for configuration.

    Otherwise, the user configuration (~/.config/pycodestyle) and any local
    configurations in the current directory or above will be merged together
    (in that order) using the read method of ConfigParser.

<h2>tabs_or_spaces</h2>

<p>
Never mix tabs and spaces.
</p><p>
    The most popular way of indenting Python is with spaces only.  The
    second-most popular way is with tabs only.  Code indented with a mixture
    of tabs and spaces should be converted to using spaces exclusively.  When
    invoking the Python command line interpreter with the -t option, it issues
    warnings about code that illegally mixes tabs and spaces.  When using -tt
    these warnings become errors.  These options are highly recommended!
