Hi there, Limiting the lines to 80 symbols makes viewing/editing/comparing two files on a single screen quite comfortable. This is not only useful for Vimers who do not use graphical IDEs but also makes debugging/troubleshooting easier when someone has a development/preproduction server(s) where you cannot basically use any IDE.
If a line of code is complex enough to not fit 80 symbols I'd suggest simplifying the algorithm. Btw, some of displays can be turned for 90˚ so this might be a way to go with graphical IDEs :) - Roman On Oct 30, 2013, at 10:24 , Victor Sergeyev <[email protected]> wrote: > By the way, pep8 says, that "it is okay to increase the nominal line length > from 80 to 100 characters".
