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."""  # noqa: E501
    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
