Personally, I am not so enthusiastic about short line lengths on modern computers. But I will pass this call ...
well, I for one still sometimes code, or at least less through files, in consoles, that are not FORCEFULLY 80 chars wide, but which DO wrap-over once whichever width you made it is done, and it's nice to have a max width.
80 char is not worse than any other limit, and it being a standard, IMO is better than many
I am against pulling this in. Maybe wrapping is good, but not the simple/automatic way it is done here. Such things are simply not readable:
self.fields['recaptcha_'
'response_field'] = self.fields.pop('recaptcha_'
'response_field')
But this is the only weird formatting. Everything else increases readability or at least doesn't deminish it. So we could merge it and fix this file.
And having a limited width is advantegous. Coding almost everything in Eclipse I often view files side by side so even my full hd display isn't enough to display too long lines.
I just do not like how it is wrapped. I find this way of wrapping, when you wrap from the end of the line, ugly. Because then it is too much code on the right.
Another example:
akismet_api_key = KeyField(max_length=255,label=_("Akismet API Key"),
help_text=_('Get a Wordpress Key from '
'http://akismet.com/'))
I prefer:
akismet_api_key = KeyField(
max_length=255,
label=_("Akismet API Key"),
help_text=_('Get a Wordpress Key from http://akismet.com/'),
)
Yes I prefer that too... So what do we do?
Close this pull request and leave to @Lacrymology or somebody else or us to rewrap it better.
I think the problem is that tools for automatic wrapping wraps in the non-preferred way. I do not know why. Maybe it is easier to implement?
Hm in Eclipse it is configurable, but of course automatic wrapping always creates some weirdness. Ok then. I will open an issue.
Just FYI, I didn't use automatic tools, I mean, my editor indents stuff when I make a newline, but I didn't run an "auto wrapper" script of any kind, I did it the way I thought it was less intrusive.
I'll look at these lines again, and fix them
So just to be sure, you prefer
call_to_function(
param1,
param2,
param3,
)
always to
call_to_function(param1, param2,
param3)
And what should I do with things like
self.fields['recaptcha_response_field'] = self.fields.pop('recaptcha_response_field')
where the left-hand elements are already very long? I could always just leave that one as a long line
Thanks for your effort! Yes please do the first one.
As for the assignment you could leave it or do
self.fields['recaptcha_response_field'] = \
self.fields.pop('recaptcha_response_field')
Sometimes something like this is useful:
self.fields.update({
'recaptcha_response_field': self.fields.pop('recaptcha_response_field'),
})
BTW, what exactly does this line do? Set field back to itself?
I think it makes sure it's the last field on the form
Aaa, because it is ordered dict. OK.
Hello. I've customized a lot of things in my fork, and keeping up with your updates is very difficult.
This is a harmless and mostly cosmetic update, it basically just makes all the code pep8-compatible, at least in line lengths.
