Comment Comment by runjake Someone else is going to be weird and want to look this up so I'll save you the trouble.Yes, aithrowawaycomm's claim about line lengths are supported by many, many different sources who recommend a 50 to 80 character line length.https://duckduckgo.com/?q=reading+optimal+line+lengthIMHO, 80 characters is too narrow, especially with Python, for most coding tasks so I settle more around 100 (+-20) characters. PEP-8 says up to 99 characters is okay.https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/#maximum-line-length parent runjake 1 year ago
