+The Python standard library is conservative and requires limiting +lines to 79 characters (and docstrings/comments to 72).

If you (and Guido) mean that as a hard limit, then patchcheck should

check line lengths as well as trailing whitespace.

That raises issues when modifying existing non-compliant files, because it removes the human judgement on whether a non-compliance is worth fixing or not.

I meant tools/scripts/patchcheck.py, not the pre-commit hook. The check

would inform (especially for old files) or remind (for new files) so that judgment could be applied. Ah, right. Yeah, that may be reasonable. A warning option on reindent.py may be a place to start if someone wanted to implement it. Whether or not patchcheck used that option would likely depend on the initial results of running it manually :) Cheers, Nick.
