I'm curious about how commonly tkinter is actually used among Python app
developers as compared to wx, Pyside, or PyQT. I get the impression that more
distributed apps are built with wxPython, at least, than tkinter. My
impression is far from actual knowledge, of course.

It's not just the number of characters, it's the size and the font. Even
fixed-width fonts differ greatly in their readability.
I can handle different line widths just fine up til about 120 or so without

I also tend to prefer a maximum between 110 and 120 characters. I find
continuation lines confusing, and when you use some third-party tools, such as
wxPython, for example, the boilerplate code leads to some long lines.
I would hate to have to break up this line, for instance:
