Except on Python-Dev, where feedback on allowing longer lines is almost entirely negative. The consensus seems to be, if you have a line of code that is more than 79 characters, and less than 100 characters, and there is no clean way to break it over multiple lines, then it is acceptable to not break it. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
