The usual recommendation is to wrap to 70-80 characters. Most likely
you're seeing a proportionally-spaced font, so going for the border of
the display is going to be inherently sloppy.

What I would recommend, if you don't feel like setting up NNTP, is to
subscribe to the mailing list:

https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

All the same content, but via email instead. Take your pick between
that and a newsreader - whichever's easier to get to work.
