How to break a line of chained methods in Python?

I have a line of the following code (don't blame for naming conventions, they are not mine):

subkeyword = Session.query(
    Subkeyword.subkeyword_id, Subkeyword.subkeyword_word
).filter_by(
    subkeyword_company_id=self.e_company_id
).filter_by(
    subkeyword_word=subkeyword_word
).filter_by(
    subkeyword_active=True
).one()

I don't like how it looks like (not too readable) but I don't have any better idea to limit lines to 79 characters in this situation. Is there a better way of breaking it (preferably without backslashes)?

You could use additional parentheses:

subkeyword = (
    Session.query(Subkeyword.subkeyword_id, Subkeyword.subkeyword_word)
    .filter_by(subkeyword_company_id=self.e_company_id)
    .filter_by(subkeyword_word=subkeyword_word)
    .filter_by(subkeyword_active=True)
    .one()
)

This is a case where a line continuation character is preferred to open parentheses. The need for this style becomes more obvious as method names get longer and as methods start taking arguments:

subkeyword = Session.query(Subkeyword.subkeyword_id, Subkeyword.subkeyword_word) \
                    .filter_by(subkeyword_company_id=self.e_company_id)          \
                    .filter_by(subkeyword_word=subkeyword_word)                  \
                    .filter_by(subkeyword_active=True)                           \
                    .one()

PEP 8 is intend to be interpreted with a measure of common-sense and an eye for both the practical and the beautiful. Happily violate any PEP 8 guideline that results in ugly or hard to read code.

That being said, if you frequently find yourself at odds with PEP 8, it may be a sign that there are readability issues that transcend your choice of whitespace :-)
