What can be the length of the identifier in Python?

Answer 1

According to this, identifiers have unlimited length: https://docs.python.org/3.9/reference/lexical_analysis.html#identifiers

Answer 2

"Python identifiers are unlimited in length" but as per PEP-8 you should limit identifier to a maximum of 79 character for better readability but there is no restriction.

Answer 3

Try an experiment. This identifier is 97 characters long

Answer 8

In Python, the highest possible length of an identifier is 79 characters. Python is a high level programming language. It’s also a complex form and a collector of waste.

Python, particularly when combined with identifiers, is case-sensitive.

When writing or using identifiers in Python, it has a maximum of 79 characters.

Unlikely, Python gives the identifiers unlimited length.

However, the layout of PEP-8 prevents the user from breaking the rules and includes a 79-character limit

aspad🇮🇷 seems like you are as wrong as 🅼︎🆁︎ 🅷︎🅰︎🆂︎🅰︎🅽︎ , as proved by David Ashton sir
