Comment (by nrogers64):
Tim, the only issue I have with your proposed wording at django-developers
is this:
> Documentation, comments, and docstrings should be wrapped at 79
characters.
As stated by bmispelon, PEP 8 says:
> For code maintained exclusively or primarily by a team that can reach
agreement on this issue, it is okay to increase the nominal line length
from 80 to 100 characters (effectively increasing the maximum length to 99
characters), provided that comments and docstrings are still wrapped at 72
characters.
Also, I'm not sure if Carl is correct or not in this statement that he
made:
> With recent updates to PEP 8 to accommodate longer lines, the stated
policy is no longer an exception to PEP 8
The quote from PEP 8 shown above seems to imply that you can go up to 99
characters if you want to, but no more than that. Maybe I'm
misinterpreting that, though.
