According to this, identifiers have unlimited length: https://docs.python.org/3.9/reference/lexical_analysis.html#identifiers

"Python identifiers are unlimited in length" but as per PEP-8 you should limit identifier to a maximum of 79 character for better readability but there is no restriction.

🅼︎🆁︎ 🅷︎🅰︎🆂︎🅰︎🅽︎ and aspad🇮🇷 here is a 10000 chars long identifier, not even remotely close to your 79 chars limit myth: https://code.sololearn.com/cGQqsDdLPG4e/?ref=app

In Python, the highest possible length of an identifier is 79 characters. Python is a high level programming language. It’s also a complex form and a collector of waste. Python, particularly when combined with identifiers, is case-sensitive. When writing or using identifiers in Python, it has a maximum of 79 characters. Unlikely, Python gives the identifiers unlimited length. However, the layout of PEP-8 prevents the user from breaking the rules and includes a 79-character limit
