Looking at it (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/), that is one of the options, but you could also do:

  def my_very_very_very_very_very_long_function_name(
          self, param1, 
          param2):
      pass

Shrug. Seems okay to me, and preferable to what they say no to.

You can choose to use:

    def my_very_very_very_very_very_long_function_name(
            self, param1, param2):
        ...

Ah, my mistake.

My preference is to do this, which I think is quite nice and easy to work with:

    def my_very_very_very_very_very_long_function_name(
            self,
            param1,
            param2,
            ):
        do_it()  # function body here.

Yup this. It works perhaps even more nicely in languages that have braces and return types, e.g.

    func some_name(
        arg: Type,
        arg2: Type
    ) -> RetVal {
        …
    }

Yep, this is by far my least favorite autopep8 "correction".

if your function name is that long, you have a problem
