+1 :) My terminal windows are usually wider than 80 chars, but I still find it far far better to limit myself to 79 columns, because it gives me the flexibility to narrow the windows at need (eg: :vsplit in vi to see several files side-by-side). The (small) improvement in readability of longer lines is far less significant to me than the loss of readability when I want narrower windows (or run into them in code review tools, as mentioned). But of course this is just my opinion :) :) --David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
