Best way to define multiple dictionary in one line versus many lines

Which method is better and why?

a = dict() 
b = dict()
c = dict()

or

a, b, c = dict(), dict(), dict()

All three dictionaries will have different keys and are for different purpose.

Keep it on different lines -- they are more readable that way. Readability of a python code matters a lot. That being said, you could:

a = {}   # or dict(..)
b = {}
c = {}

Note: This doesn't mean you can not do it in a single line. I am guilty of doing it myself.

Update: It seems there are people who prefer an explicit dict() over implicit {}. I guess the former is slightly more readable. Personally, I'm someone who'd go out of my way to delete dict() and replace with {} whenever I see one.
