Completely agree with the article. And as with such, all best practices have a time an a place. Here's one great example of what not to do: mindlessly enforcing code line sizes. No, your hand won't get chopped off if you go over 80 chars (unless it's the Linux kernel, but they used to have good reasons for that) If the first thing a dev does to your python code is mindless chopping it off at 80 chars he's just cargo culting.
