bringing this back (closer to) on lopic: Are you suggesting that we add syntax to Python that makes it easier to keep the number of levels of indentation down?
Because when you have a method in a class, you've already lost 1/10 or your line. then you have a for, and an if, and a with, and you've used up 5/8 of the line. However, if you are talking about the readability of and individual not-so long line, then I'd say you can ignore the 8 spaces that got you into the method, and we're now at a 88 char line :-) -Chris B On Sun, Feb 7, 2021 at 11:09 PM Chris Angelico <ros...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Feb 8, 2021 at 6:04 PM David Mertz <me...@gnosis.cx> wrote: > > > > There's a reason that never in the last 3800 years since Proto-Sinaitic > was the first human script to approximately represent phonemes, has text > EVER been set at more than 80 characters as a widespread convention. > > > > What did they use as a tab width though? > > ChrisA > _______________________________________________ > Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org > To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ > Message archived at > https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/2KGKLH54CIKZ2EB6ZDPIXJ745FZKW45C/ > Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ > -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
