Yes, but flake8 will automatically find and use that file, so users do
not need to pass any option when calling flake8. That's the beauty of
it:

http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/user/configuration.html#project-configuration

I did not choose 132 randomly; I choose it for a reason.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/132_(number)

The number of columns of a Line printer printing in landscape mode on
14-inch paper.  /(while in portrait it was 80)/

Also, 132 was the alternative line width on a VT (vt200? my memory of
it is a bit fuzzy... ;-] )

So, 132 is a good fit. ;-)
