You can change the max line length in black (the Python formatter I hear mentioned most often). How would you feel about setting it to something really large, like 1000, to emulate having no line length limit?

That doesn't work still. It will reflow all your lines to reflow to 1000. Try it out, anything above 88 makes even the cleanest python a nightmare.

I don't like long lines, but reflowing logic is way to aggressive in these formatters.
