Unless -- hypothetically -- the architect decides that all the source in the project will follow PEP-8 and you want to do an end-run around the decision because you're tired of losing five minutes every few hours as a result of working out how to reformat a block of code to best respect the 80-char limit.
As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, very often the superior solution is not to re-*format* the same statement to fit, but to re-*factor* the code so it's less deeply indented or does less in each statement. And that re-factoring isn't lost time; it's saved time when later readers try to understand the code. -- \ “There was a point to this story, but it has temporarily | `\ escaped the chronicler's mind.” —Douglas Adams | _o__) | Ben Finney
