Hi RC,
It might be the case that 'condition 123' is malformed. If this is true,
then the problem doesn't stem from going across lines, but with the
'condition 123' and 'condition 456' stuff.
Just to check:
######
>>> if (condition 123 and
File "<stdin>", line 1
if (condition 123 and
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
######
Yeah, looks like Python immediately seizes on that part and stops at the
point where the SyntaxError is. It doesn't even wait for me to enter in
the rest of the line.
I'm not sure if this is the real error that you're seeing; you may have
just used 'condition 123' simply as an example. If you have code that you
can show us, we'll look at it more carefully.
Best of wishes to you!
