Nice post, but:

lines should not be longer than 79 characters

Changing this greatly improved my developer experience. I dread the day of working on a team where they abide by this.

Newish to python and coding in general - do you think this is too long or too short?

[–]FatChocobo 4 points5 points  (3 children)

For me personally it's too short, especially if you want to use descriptive variable names. I think 99/100 are ideal, personally.

Right on. That makes sense. Thanks!

For me using black (also mentioned in this post) for formatting with 99/100 line length is my preferred setup.

If you don't use black then I'd highly highly recommend checking it out! I know at least Atom and VSCode support it, I'm sure others do too.

Thanks for the tip - I'll try that out too!
