I'd be ok with compiler warning messages from lines that are too long. I think it's appropriate to have such messages, if someone took the trouble to specify a maximum preferred line length in the PEP. There could be a compile time flag and/or some kind of code pragma to turn off the warnings. > I really doubt you'll find much agreement for this (the compiler > should enforce it) position.

It's ok if the enforcement isn't strict. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
