Oscar, again there is this discussion exactly because this is a thing that
became ambiguous in PEP8: was originally 80 chars and now states:
"Some teams strongly prefer a longer line length. For code maintained
exclusively or primarily by a team that can reach agreement on this issue,
it is okay to increase the nominal line length from 80 to 100 characters
(effectively increasing the maximum length to 99 characters), provided that
comments and docstrings are still wrapped at 72 characters."
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

I personally have no strong opinion about the choice, but let's say I
understand why the question was raised.


Regards.
