I don't like using backslash line continuation. Too many ways to mess up,
putting comments or white space after the \ may or may not work. And are
the continuation rules the same of C and make or different?

I cannot write:

if x > 10   \    # check lower bound
and x < 20:      # check upper bound
      do_in_range()

   File "L:\Users\barry\a.py", line 2
     if x > 10   \    # check lower bound
                                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid token
