Comment:
Hi nrogers64,
I agree with you that this text needs updating. As far as I know, the
current guideline is actually to keep lines within 79 characters unless it
doesn't fit, in which case it is ok to make longer lines. Clarity goes
above following the character limit.
Maybe just delete that one sentence and make it:
One exception to PEP 8 is our opinion on line length. Don’t limit lines of
code to 79 characters if it means the code looks significantly uglier or
is harder to read.
