Agree on a line length for our package.

[grabear]

PEP8 convention calls for a line length of ~80 characters:

Limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters.

For flowing long blocks of text with fewer structural restrictions (docstrings or comments), the line length should be limited to 72 characters.

However, I like something a bit longer. Around 120 characters. I don't mind doing 120 for both code and docstrings, but I can do 120 for code and 72 for docstrings.

Let me know if you prefer something different @sdhutchins.

We can add this to the contributing file.

I'm a pep8 fan so... :grimacing: :grin:

[grabear]

Can you meet me half-way at 100 characters?? :sweat_smile:

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.

[sdhutchins]

How about this...

If you can, < 80, but if not, no greater than 100?

Try adding:

[flake8]
max-line-length = 100

to your setup.cfg then

Thanks for that @Spindel

[grabear]

Nice. Thanks @Spindel for checking out our repository.
