One person's opinion: Don't. It's not worth being so dogmatic that you split if something like a URL by itself on a line goes a little long... even if it goes 105 chars, say (there's not a magic number). And if the URL is really long and full of crud, rather than simple and readable, consider feeding it to a shortener - its visual clarity is already compromised, after all. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
