I would put ']' at a new line:

foo = [
    'too long',
    'too long too',
    ...
    ]

I don't really believe it should exist style guidelines for everything
that is possible (or if it did I doubt it would matter), many/most
people adapt the guidelines to fetch their own style. That is not
really a problem if you are consistent during all the code, and if it
is not too ugly as well =)
