Line length Open
Python 3 introduced `str.casefold()`, which is very similar to `str.lower()`, but more aggressive as it is intended to remove all case distinctions in Unicode strings. It implements the casefolding algorithm as described in [section 3.13 of the Unicode Standard](https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode9.0.0/ch03.pdf).- Read upRead up

Tags: line_length
Aliases: line-length Parameters: linelength, codeblocks, tables (number; default 80, boolean; default true)
This rule is triggered when there are lines that are longer than the configured line length (default: 80 characters). To fix this, split the line up into multiple lines.
This rule has an exception where there is no whitespace beyond the configured line length. This allows you to still include items such as long URLs without being forced to break them in the middle.
You also have the option to exclude this rule for code blocks and tables. To
do this, set the code_blocks and/or tables parameters to false.
Code blocks are included in this rule by default since it is often a requirement for document readability, and tentatively compatible with code rules. Still, some languages do not lend themselves to short lines.
Line length Open
Python's standard method for converting a string to lowercase is `str.lower()` and is compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3. While this is the standard way for most cases, there are certain cases where this method might not be the most appropriate, especially if you are working with Unicode strings.- Read upRead up
