A very good point. We can't banish long URLs from the Internet, because they violate PEP 8. > But I'm not sure about general long string literals. I hope programmers would be sensible in their use of long string literals (as with their choice of variable names). However, I don't think this can be reliable machine checked, with the tools we presently have. Machines find it hard to determine programmer intent, except via a formal language. -- Jonathan _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
