Instructions for fixing "E501 Line too long"
For code lines
Break into multiple lines using parentheses or brackets:
result = some_very_long_function_name(
parameter1, parameter2, parameter3
)
For single-line strings
Use string concatenation: "ABC" → ("A" "B" "C")
message = ("This is a very long string "
"that needs to be broken up")
For long multi-line strings (docstrings)
Add # noqa: E501 AFTER the ending """. NEVER add it inside the docstring.
def example_function():
"""This is a very long docstring that exceeds the line length limit."""
pass
What NOT to do
- Do not add
# noqa: E501 inside docstrings or multi-line strings
- Do not break strings in the middle of words
- Do not sacrifice code readability for line length compliance
