urls in comments

[twmr]

the line length check should be skipped if the line contains a long url

(see matplotlib/matplotlib#3507 (comment))

@thisch I'm not following. That discussion explains that it does skip it. What problem are you seeing and on what version of pep8?

[twmr]

see matplotlib/matplotlib#3507 (comment)

we want that if a comment contains an url, whose length is larger than the max line length, it should not yield E501

[tacaswell]

The line has to start with the url which seems like a reasonable constraint on long urls.

@thisch Move the discussion here.

[twmr]

Yes if the line starts with the url it does not yield E501. I'm fine with that -> Closing

@thisch in the future, if you report an issue please provide more than a link. Please provide exactly what is needed to reproduce what you are claiming is a bug. Thanks @tacaswell for helping clarify this for @thisch

[twmr]

Sry about that, I'll try to provide more details the next time
