  * Feel free to ignore the part of PEP-8 that says to put each module import on a separate line, but don't import modules from multiple separate packages on the same line.
  * Ignore the part of PEP-257 which says to put the trailing {{{"""}}} of a multi-line docstring on a separate line separated by a blank line.  (That rule appears to have been motivated by a limitation of Emacs which has been fixed.)
- * Ignore the part of PEP-8 which specifes 79- or 72- char line widths.  Use whatever line-widths look best to you in your editor on your screen.  Please don't change other people's line-widths unnecessarily, making it look better on your display and worse on theirs.  That's not nice.  (Note: unless you are Brian.  Brian can do anything he wants!)
+ * Ignore the part of PEP-8 which specifes 79- or 72- char line widths. We use 77 columns. In emacs set {{{fill-column}}} to 77 (e.g. {{{M-x set-variable fill-column 77}}}).
