<llanitedave@veawb.coop> declaimed the following in
gmane.comp.python.general:

> I also tend to prefer a maximum between 110 and 120 characters.  I find continuation lines confusing, and when you use some third-party tools, such as wxPython, for example, the boilerplate code leads to some long lines.
> 
> I would hate to have to break up this line, for instance:
> 
> self.mainLabel.SetFont(wx.Font(12, wx.DEFAULT, wx.NORMAL, wx.BOLD, faceName = "FreeSans"))
>
	Whereas I would consider breaking at the commas somewhat natural

	self.mainLabel.SetFont(wx.Font(12,
										wx.DEFAULT,
										wx.NORMAL,
										wx.BOLD,
										faceName="FreeSans")	)
