Category: Documentation Group: Python 3000 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) >Assigned to: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Summary: clarify 80-char limit Initial Comment: PEP 3099 says: """ Coding style ============ * The (recommended) maximum line width will remain 80 characters, for both C and Python code. Thread: "C style guide", http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2006-March/000131.html """ It should be clarified that this really means 72-79 characters, perhaps by adding the following sentence: Note that according to PEP 8, this actually means no more than 79 characters in a line, and no more than about 72 in docstrings or comments. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Date: 2007-03-17 23:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6380 Originator: NO IMO it's excessive to explain this.
