propper formating
#1
Hello, I am learning python3 using the python crash course book and I have decided to try to learn the most accepted way to properly format my code early on.
To do this I installed pycode with PIP.

Is it ok to be using 90 characters instead of 80? I find it a lot easier to work in 90 although I understand 80 is the standard, although there seems to be some debate over it when I search it online. I was thinking 90 is a small increase and may be accepted more among other programmers.

I'm doing the guest list tutorial in the crash course book, if your curious this is how my code looks. I hope it is somewhat proper and clean looking for my early stages. It is working at least.
# guest list exercise at the end of the list section
# see intro list for how to'

print('Guest list exercise v1.0')

print("\nI should have room at the venue for three \
people")

guestlist = ['dracula', 'zelda', 'luigi']
# original guest list'
# names = guestlist.title()'

print("\nI think I will invite the following")
print(guestlist[0].title() + ", " +
      guestlist[1].title() + ", and " +
      guestlist[2].title() + ".")

# cant figure out how to print the list without the
# brackets yet and as a title all at once. Will have to
# go back.  For now calling each one separate'

invmsg = (", would you like to cometo dinner \
tonight? \nI am inviting ")

inv1 = ("\nHello " + guestlist[0].title() + invmsg +
        guestlist[1].title() + ", and " +
        guestlist[2].title() + " as well. ")
print(inv1)

# case sensitive
# i will go back and make this code better

inv2 = ("\nHello " + guestlist[1].title() + invmsg +
        guestlist[0].title() + ", and " +
        guestlist[2].title() + " as well. ")
print(inv2)

inv3 = ("\nHello " + guestlist[2].title() + invmsg +
        guestlist[0].title() + ", and " +
        guestlist[1].title() + " as well. ")
print(inv3)

# sent the first three invitations
# one of the guest cant make it

mcmake = ("\nI received a call that ," +
          guestlist[2].title() + ", can't make it to the" +
          "dinner.  \nI will need to invite someone else" +
          "notify the others.")

# \n can be used anywhere in the print text

print(mcmake)

rguest = guestlist.pop(2)
guestlist.insert(2, 'samus')
nguest1 = guestlist[-1].title()

cmmsg = ("I am very sorry but ," + rguest.title() +
         ", can't make it to the party. I invited , " +
         nguest1 + ", instead to join us.")

g1 = guestlist[0].title()
g2 = guestlist[1].title()

print("\nDear " + g1 + ". " + cmmsg)
print("\nDear " + g2 + ". " + cmmsg)

# print(guestlist) this is a tester

# correct  - inv3 has to be updated

inv3 = ("\nHello " + guestlist[2].title() + invmsg +
        guestlist[0].title() + ", and ," +
        guestlist[1].title() + ", as well. ")

print("\n" + inv3)
print("\n I found a even bigger venue, i can invite \
three more people to the dinner")

guestlist.insert(0, 'gandolf')
guestlist.insert(2, 'yoshi')
guestlist.append('cain')

g2 = guestlist[1].title()

you there."
