I've been thinking about that for some minutes now and I have doubts
that it will increase the readability. Maybe for you as you invented
that style but not for others.
There are a few standards for formatting C code and even this few have
cause many discussions between developers.
Python has one convention (defined in PEP 8) and the deeper you dive
into the language the more you will like it.
BTW: having one way to do it is one of the main ideas of Python's
philosophy.
