I think PEP8 specifying a max of 80 columns is very silly.

Even an old VT220 terminal could do 132 columns.

My understanding is that PEP8 requires 80 columns because a tiny,
tiny, tiny minority of Python developers wanted to be able to put 3
editors next to each other horizontally, without wrapping.

I like to check my code with pycodestyle, but I always override that
dang 80 column requirement.
