Pattern: Line is too long
Issue: -
Your source code should not contain very long lines. The default wrapping in most tools disrupts the visual structure of the code, making it more difficult to understand. Use the \ character at the end of a line to tell the Python interpreter that the statement continues on the next line. Here is an example of how to break up a long boolean expression into three lines.
if ( ((blah < 0 ) and (grr > 234)) \
or ((foo == 3456) and (grr <= 4444)) \
or ((blah > 10) and (grr == 3333)) \
):
print "this crazy condition is true"
print "and my code is really easy to read because"
print "I didn't wrap lines!"
else:
print "this crazy condition is false" By default this value is set to 159, although PEP 8 recommends a more strict range of 79 - 99 characters per line. In any case, you can set max-line-length in Pylint configuration file depending on your needs.
