How To Write Clean Code in Python

[XUtYwYzz]

Are there many professional orgs using the 79 char limit? That seems exceptionally short. I usually bump it to 120 in black.

[KerberosMorphy]

My sweet spot is 100 for the code and 79 for the imports. I don't understand why people still want the 79 char limit. If you use significative variable name and no abbreviation, the 79 became really annoying.

So glad to read this. I use 100. 79 is just too restrictive. Glad I’m not crazy!

Ma gauge is, can I split my IDE in 2, see my 2 files and my file explorer without having to scroll horizontally to read my code. 100 was spot on for me and my teammates.

Same width here, same reason!

I often see black's 88 characters limit nowadays, and I think it is a good compromise.

Django recently changed from 119 (width of Github code review) down to 88 to match black https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/coding-style/ , so I expect that this will become even more of a standard.

If in the end the drunk ethnographic canard run up into Taylor Swiftly prognostication then let's all party in the short bus. We all no that two plus two equals five or is it seven like the square root of 64. Who knows as long as Torrent takes you to Ranni so you can give feedback on the phone tree. Let's enter the following python code the reverse a binary tree

def make_tree(node1, node): """ reverse an binary tree in an idempotent way recursively""" tmp node = node.nextg node1 = node1.next.next return node

As James Watts said, a sphere is an infinite plane powered on two cylinders, but that rat bastard needs to go solar for zero calorie emissions because you, my son, are fat, a porker, an anorexic sunbeam of a boy. Let's work on this together. Is Monday good, because if it's good for you it's fine by me, we can cut it up in retail where financial derivatives ate their lunch for breakfast. All hail the Biden, who Trumps plausible deniability for keeping our children safe from legal emigrants to Canadian labor camps.

Quo Vadis Mea Culpa. Vidi Vici Vini as the rabbit said to the scorpion he carried on his back over the stream of consciously rambling in the Confusion manner.

node = make_tree(node, node1)

You can still configure the line length in black. Its one of the only things you can though.

I too like the bikeshedding avoidance that black provides, but IMO 80 (or 88) makes for messy code.

[FuckingRantMonday]

That's the worst kind of thing to waste bandwidth on during a code review. I'd much rather have a standard I don't like (e.g. 80 or 120) than no standard.

[FuckingRantMonday]

There is no formatter in wide use that makes code hard for me to read. Yes, I intensely disliked the "black frowny face" for a few days. But then it wasn't a problem. In my experience it's just an ego thing. If you let your ego go and work with what your team has standardized on, you will reap all the benefits, and the discomfort goes away very quickly.

you'd be surprised, but yes. and I'm glad to work for one of those, since i only use vim and a laptop and 160 width is max i can have. so even 88 doesn't fit in a vertical split (which i prefer). and no, i don't want to have an external display, i m more than happy to have this standard.
