PEP8, anything which can't fit within 72 characters needs to be split
across multiple lines.  Since a number of you seem to be prolific Python
coders, what opinion do you have about splitting URL's in
comments/docstrings?


Assuming the use-case for including a URL-comment is to be able to locate the resource again, I'd leave it integral so that it is ready for a quick copy-paste. Otherwise you'd have to re-assemble the URL in the browser, from multiple comment-lines in the code...

In addition to PEP-8, please consider 'the Zen of Python' (practicality and purity).

        python3 -c "import this"
