Comment:
Closing wontfix, for two reasons.
Firstly, the opening comments of PEP8 has a whole section entitled "A
foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". This ticket is
exactly the kind of prescriptive nonsense that that comment was directed
at. Overall readability is more important than concrete adherence to a
rulebook. Sometimes the 79 character limit is an impediment to
readability. When this happens is entirely a matter of judgement, but
pointing at PEP8 as a limit that must be enforced at all cost completely
misses the point of PEP8.
Secondly, and more importantly, there is no course of action for this
ticket -- something that the ticket description itself acknowledges.
