the I and F functions?  add newlines to them, and replace that ugly-but-
generally-accepted "".join thing with a proper string.join call, split the
second expression into two subexpressions if necessary, and they'll
look a lot better.

or did you mean the call to I?  did you look at it in a syntax-coloring
editor?
