How should I format a long url in a python comment and still be PEP8 compliant

Question

In a block comment, I want to reference a URL that is over 80 characters long.

What is the preferred convention for displaying this URL?

I know bit.ly is an option, but the URL itself is descriptive. Shortening it and then having a nested comment describing the shortened URL seems like a crappy solution.

Answer 1

Don't break the url:
