: Okay, so, first thing vaguely Python-related that comes to mind [so probably not even slightly original, but then that's not really the point]:
What are people's preferred strategies for dealing with lines that go over 79 characters? A few I can think of off the bat: 1. Say "screw it" and go past 79, PEP8 be damned. 2. Say "screw it" and break the line using a backslash. 3. Say "well, at least it's not a backslash" and break the line using parentheses. 4. Spend 45 minutes trying to think up shorter [but still sensible] variable names to make it fit. 5. Perform an otherwise pointless assignment to a temp variable on the previous line to make it fit. 6. Realise that if it's that long, it probably shouldn't have been a list comprehension in the first place. Any I've missed? Any preferences? -[]z. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
