Pep8 E501: Line Too Long Error

I get the error E501: line too long from this code: header, response = client.request('https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses /user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&screen_n

Solution 1:

The whitespaces at the beginning of the lines become part of your string if you break it like this.

Try this:

header, response = client.request(
   'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.''json?include_entities=true&screen_name=' + username + '&count=1')

The strings will automatically be concatenated.

Solution 2:

You could also go to into the code analysis and ignore that kind or error/warning. I am using eclipse and Pydev.

Windows > Preferences > Pydev > Editor > Code Analysis > pycodestyle.py (pep8)

then add to arguments : --ignore=E501 

Restart Eclipse and it should be fine for this warning.
