IndentationError: unexpected indent after comment

Question

I am trying to write some Python example code with a line commented out:

user_by_email = session.query(User)\
    .filter(Address.email=='one')\
    #.options(joinedload(User.addresses))\
    .first()

I also tried:

user_by_email = session.query(User)\
    .filter(Address.email=='one')\
#    .options(joinedload(User.addresses))\
    .first()

But I get IndentationError: unexpected indent. If I remove the commented out line, the code works. I am decently sure that I use only spaces (Notepad++ screenshot):

Enclose the statement in parentheses.

user_by_email = (session.query(User)
     .filter(Address.email=='one')
     #.options(joinedload(User.addresses))
     .first())

Essentially its the same line , thats how Python interpreter reads it.

Just like you can not comment just a word in line of code. (Below)

Not allowed

user_by_email = session.query(User).filter(Address.email=='one')#comment#.first()

You need to move the comment to the end of the line.

user_by_email = session.query(User)\
    .filter(Address.email=='one')\
    .first()
#.options(joinedload(User.addresses))\

removing the slash didn't work but adding braces did. – Ray Hulha Jun 06 '18 at 14:16
@Prateek I removed my comment as I could not edit it to correct that the simple removal of the backslash does not work in that case. – d parolin Jun 06 '18 at 14:20
sorry , i thought that worked .updated answer. – Morse Jun 06 '18 at 14:26

Did you try this?

user_by_email = session.query(User).\
filter(Address.email=='one').\
#options(joinedload(User.addresses)).\
first()
