Hello, for me the 80 (or 79) char border when writing code is a fundamental rule. Being at University and having to document each project on paper, it is a must do. i.e. I get code from fellow scolars, that have 160 chars per line, and to get that on paper is disgusting, especially in C/C++. So please, stay true to that.
And don't forget those, who actually view source code in a terminal. :-) Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
