A desperate lunge for on-topic-ness

[Zero Piraeus]

:

Okay, so, first thing vaguely Python-related that comes to mind [so
probably not even slightly original, but then that's not really the
point]:

What are people's preferred strategies for dealing with lines that go
over 79 characters? A few I can think of off the bat:

1. Say "screw it" and go past 79, PEP8 be damned.

2. Say "screw it" and break the line using a backslash.

3. Say "well, at least it's not a backslash" and break the line using
parentheses.

4. Spend 45 minutes trying to think up shorter [but still sensible]
variable names to make it fit.

5. Perform an otherwise pointless assignment to a temp variable on the
previous line to make it fit.

6. Realise that if it's that long, it probably shouldn't have been a
list comprehension in the first place.

Any I've missed? Any preferences?
