TL;DR can we have hard wrapping of lists to a specific length in the editor?

I am often working with lists that are longer than 79 characters, e.g. 
column names of wide pandas dataframes, which I sometimes need to hardcode 
in the script for reproducibility. I do this by printing the lists in the 
console, and then copying them back to the editor. however, in the console 
they wrap after each item, so that they take a lot of space vertically. I 
then have to copy them to another editor (e.g. notepad++), remove all 
linebreaks, an then  manually wrap them by adding line breaks. this is 
tedious, and I was wondering whether we could have this functionality in 
Spyder to make our scripts more readible, and adhere PEP formatting 
suggestions?
