Hi  Team ,


what would be the best way to intent the below line .

I have few lines in my program exceeding the allowed maximum line
Length of 79./80 characters

Example 1 :


    p =
Subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(cmd),stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)


First rule of python-list: Pay careful attention to Peter Otten.

That said...

80-character limit?!

Sheesh! A relic of the days when terminals were ASCII and 80x24

Which is a relic of the even older punch cards which contained one line of (up to) 80 characters.

80 character was the hard limit.
The soft limit for readability is 60..65 characters.
Think about it.

Just that a language accepts
#define MASK_SEPIA_INTERNAL_BLEEDING_WASHINGTON_DC_BLACK 0x147800fa
means that it is a good idea to do so.
