The Python Language Reference is probably what you're looking for: http://docs.python.org/2/reference/index.html See, particularly, section 2 about lexical analysis and possibly section 9 for the grammar. The short answer though, is that python doesn't have any limits on the line length or the size of a script, other than that execution will obviously fail if you run out of memory while parsing or compiling the script. PEP 8 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) is the Python style guide, and it does have some recommendations about line length (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#maximum-line-length). That document suggests a maximum length of 79 characters per line, and that's probably what PythonTidy was trying to accomplish by splitting your line. -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
