Hi!

      I have a question about style. In PEP-8, it says don't exceed 79
characters, but can this rule ever be trumped by
readability?

It's trumped by something:

>>> for ii in range(10):
...     D="*/"*ii+"*.py"
...     L=glob.glob(D)
...     for pypgm in L:
...         pgm = open(pypgm,'r').readlines()
...         totalLines+=len(pgm)
...         LongLines.extend([(pypgm,jj) for jj in pgm if len(jj)>79])
...
>>>
>>> print len(LongLines),totalLines
12043 606760
>>>
