These are the only two that follow PEP 8; the others don't have
four-space indent levels.

I actually use this style:

    foo = {
        0: 'spam',
        1: 'eggs',
        2: 'beans',
        }

because that makes it clear that *all* the indented lines are a
continuation of the same statement, just like a suite of statements
are all uniformly indented under (e.g.) a function definition.

It seems that the author of the Python editing mode in Emacs agrees
with me too (the style, at least, if not the reasoning), which makes
my programming life easier.
