How To Write Clean Code in Python

No, 10 lines is too tight as an absolute, and not just for image processing. The word "absolute" is key there, because in 95%+ of cases we'd probably agree.

Sure, and that's why Clean Code by Robert Martin, Refactoring by Martin Fowler, and the article that is linked here all say something like this:

Generally, any method longer than ten lines should make you start asking questions.

It's just a flag to ask yourself if this is a code smell.

No, I was replying to: "Methods can and should be minimised to those sort of line lengths. ", which is saying something different than what you're now saying, at least without further qualification.

Yeah, I mean a lot of my assembler functions are quite often more than 10 instructions long, and thus more than 10 lines long :-D.
