Break python assignment into multiple lines

What would be the cleanest way to break this into multiple lines following PEP8's guidelines?

long_name, longer_name, even_longer_name = list_to_break_into_long_names

I could think of

long_name, longer_name, even_longer_name = \
    list_to_break_into_long_names

but a backslash raises C092 prefer implied line continuation inside parentheses, brackets, and braces as opposed to a backslash. I'm unable to think of a clean way to do this.

Another way to use parentheses:

long_name, longer_name, even_longer_name = (
    list_to_break_into_long_names)

How about using parentheses

(
    long_name,
    longer_name,
    even_longer_name,
) = list_to_break_into_long_names

Also you might consider using a tool like python-black to just make formatting automatic and just accept the way it does it. The disadvantage is that it may not quite be the way you would think best. The advantage is that it does it reasonably well and you can spend less time thinking about cleaning up your code formatting.
