I don't think this quite works as stated.
Python lets you break a line inside a parenthesised expression or with a 
continuation character, so it seems to me that this proposal would require 
one of the following:

def foo() as (static,
              synchronized,
              contract(pre,post)):
    pass

or:

def foo() as static, \
             synchronized, \
             contract(pre,post):
    pass
