PEP8 has some [maximum line length guidelines](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#id17), starting with "Limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters" but "for flowing long blocks of text with fewer structural restrictions (docstrings or comments), the line length should be limited to 72 characters."
We discussed this at length, and it seems that the consensus is: try to keep line lengths less than 79/72 characters, unless you have a special situation where longer lines would improve readability. (The basic reason is that 79/72 works for everyone, and BigchainDB is an open source project.)
