On: PEP 8 Modernisation

[frou_dh]

Nobody ever specifies whether or not 0x0a counts towards their limit.

The reason it's 79 instead of 80 is to allow for at least one funky glyph at the end of the line since many editors do that kind of thing.

[penguindev → cjensen]

No, its so a diff looks good (with < or > lines in the first column)

edit: you're correct, that's the rationale in the pep. It's not why I stick at 79 though, I do it for git log -p, etc.

[jessaustin → frou_dh]

That's between lines, isn't it?

OTOH, 0x0d definitely counts toward the limit!

[frou_dh → jessaustin]

Take it away and there is no line, just a text fragment: /bin/echo -n and then

In other words, it's a line ending, not a line separator.
