I kept my limit to 128 or 132 until I had to work in python. Any language that makes whitespace significant coupled with reasonably descripting naming makes that limit impractical imho.

Well, you would have to break your code into a lot of functions to keep indentation reasonable.

Actually, this is what it is expected in the linux kernel (but some parts did fail that by A LOT).

Most of the time, it is all about complex expressions with explicit(long) variable names.
