Luckily in Python there are many ways to do this:
Exactly. With overlong lines you will also get into troubles when you arrange two or more windows vertically (e.g. for comparing different versions). Or when you want to paste code to a mailing list like this one and the overlong lines are wrapped, or view them on a console or via an ssh client which usually have the default of 80 chars. Plus, I'm getting older and a bigger font size is starting to get convenient ;-) So I think the 80 chars recommendation is still appropriate... -- Christoph --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
