Python function argument list formatting

What is the best way to format following piece of code accordingly to PEP8:

oauth_request = oauth.OAuthRequest.from_consumer_and_token(consumer,    token=token, verifier=verifier, http_url=ACCESS_TOKEN_URL)

The problem is that if I place more than one parameter on the first line, the line exceeds 79 characters. If I place each of the parameters on a separate line with 4 spaces indentation it looks quite ugly:

oauth_request = oauth.OAuthRequest.from_consumer_and_token(    consumer,    token=token,    verifier=verifier,    http_url=ACCESS_TOKEN_URL)

The best option that I come up with is to add extra indentation for better distinguishing:

oauth_request = oauth.OAuthRequest.from_consumer_and_token(                        consumer,                        token=token,                        verifier=verifier,                        http_url=ACCESS_TOKEN_URL)

I try to work out a general rule for me to use it for methods with long invocation on the first line and several parameters that can't fit a single line.
