Is it possible to break a long function name across multiple lines?

Question

Our development team uses a PEP8 linter which requires a maximum line length of 80 characters.

When I\'m writing unit tests in python, I like to have

Answer 1

The need for this kind of names may hint at other smells.

class ClientConnectionTest(unittest.TestCase):
   def test_that_client_event_listener_receives_connection_refused_error_without_server(self):
       ...

ClientConnectionTest sounds pretty broad (and not at all like a testable unit), and is likely a large class with plenty of tests inside that could be refocused. Like this:

class ClientEventListenerTest(unittest.TestCase):
  def receives_connection_refused_without_server(self):
      ...

"Test" is not useful in the name because it's implied.

With all the code you've given me, my final advice is: refactor your test code, then revisit your problem (if it's still there).
