+The Python standard library is conservative and requires limiting +lines to 79 characters (and docstrings/comments to 72). If you (and Guido) mean that as a hard limit, then patchcheck should check line lengths as well as trailing whitespace.
That raises issues when modifying existing non-compliant files, because it removes the human judgement on whether a non-compliance is worth fixing or not.
