No problem with parenthesis. But Python is a little funny about spacing.

A = [0, 1]
B = [0, 1]
C = [0, 1]
D = [0, 1]
List = [A, B, C, D]

if (
	some_funk(x for x in List) or
	(
		some_other_func(x for x in List) and
		a_third_func(x for x in List))):


That's legal(ish), but now I'm screwed with my indentation.


if (
	some_funk(x for x in List) or
	(some_other_func(x for x in List) and
	a_third_func(x for x in List))):
	print("execute code here")

How I ended up going, but it's still a little hairy to read.

Then I though about it a bit more and went with:

my_bool = (
	some_funk(x for x in List) or
	(
		some_other_func(x for x in List) and
		a_third_func(x for x in List)))
if my_bool:
	print("execute code here")
