In PEP8 Guide 2. Is 79 characters are inclusive/exclusive of spaces " " ?

Question

"Wrap lines so that they don’t exceed 79 characters."

Answer 1

Google Python Style Guide says 80 characters.

3.2 Line length

Maximum line length is 80 characters.

Explicit exceptions to the 80 character limit:

Long import statements.

URLs, pathnames, or long flags in comments.

Long string module level constants not containing whitespace that would be inconvenient to split across lines such as URLs or pathnames.
