How do I add a line-break to a multiple assignment statement?

In the following Python example:

a1,  a2,  ..., a30,
a31, a32, ..., a60 = get_values()

I can't insert a line-break after the variable a30 because if I do that the syntax is not correct. But then I do not know how I could correctly write code lines with any possible large length I might think of.

I am assuming you want to split an assignment statement into two lines.

Here's how to do it.

a1,a2,a3,a4, \
a5,a6,a7,a8 = list('abcdefgh')
print (a1, a2, a3, a4,
       a5, a6, a7, a8)

The output of this will be:

a b c d e f g h

If you are going to store 60 variables using an assignment statement, I recommend using a list instead.

a = list('abcdefgh')
print (*a)
print (a[2])

The output of this will be:

a b c d e f g h
c

I could do it eventually by adding brackets as follows:

(a1, a2, ................a30,
a31, a32, ..............a60) = get_values()
