python-textwrap3

Textwrap3 is a compatibility back-port of Python 3.6's textwrap
module that supports Python 2.6 forward. This makes a few new
APIs such as shorten and the max_lines parameter available
in a compatible way to all Python versions typically in current use.
By design, Python 3 sensibilities and expectations rule. Especially when
processing text that includes Unicode characters, textwrap3's results may
differ a bit from those of the textwrap of the underlying Python version
(esp. 2.x). In particular, textwrap3 uses the re.UNICODE flag so that
non-ASCII characters such as accented letters are considered legitimate word
characters.
It also adds one tweak, considering the Unicode em-dash
('\N{EM DASH}' or u'\u2014') identical to the simulated ASCII em-dash
'--'.
