I have worked for many companies where you are required to get a clean
run of pep8 on your code before your pull request will even be

makes the code very ugly, especially enforcing the max line length.
Agh, I was with you until your last remark.
A max line length of 79 characters is among the *only* rigorous
principles I judge coding style on.
It comes with the maxim that one function must be visible at once on the
screen.
if we still had 1970's 80 character TTYs that would matter but on my
29" 1920x1080 screen it doesn't.
It depends on whether one prefers to use the extra width to have long
lines or side-by-side windows. I prefer the latter.
Python code windows go in my portrait mode 27" screens (120 chars),
while xml windows go in landscape mode (220 chars).
Yes, there are many reasons why I don't like xml. :(
