PEP-8 recommends you indent lines to the opening parentheses if you put anything on the first line, so it should either be indenting to the opening bracket:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
                       url(r'^$', listing, name='investment-listing'))

or not putting any arguments on the starting line, then indenting to a uniform level:

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    url(r'^$', listing, name='investment-listing'),
)

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '', url(r'^$', listing, name='investment-listing'))

I suggest taking a read through PEP-8 - you can skim through a lot of it, and it's pretty easy to understand, unlike some of the more technical PEPs.

This goes also for statements like this  auto-formatted by PyCharm        return combine sample generators sample generators  train                  combine sample generators sample generators  dev                  combine sample generators sample generators  test      Which will give the same style-warning  In order to get rid of it I had to rewrite it to       return           combine sample generators sample generators  train               combine sample generators sample generators  dev               combine sample generators sample generators  test
