[issue26214] textwrap should minimize number of breaks in extra long words

Andrei Kulakov added the comment: It may be worth fixing wrap() to do the nicer style of wrapping for long words. If we decide to do that, it should be done via a new parameter because the same logic (TextWrapper class) is used for `shorten` and in that case it may be preferable to have the

[issue26214] textwrap should minimize number of breaks in extra long words

Irit Katriel added the comment: To clarify, this solution is a linear-time greedy one, with three passes: - the first pass puts each long word on its own line. - the second pass chops them up into words of at most width characters. - the third pass wraps them, when there are no more long

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: The code with nested wraps is awesome. But it does not work well. >>> list(itertools.chain(*(wr(x, 5) for x in wr("123 123 1234567 12", width=5, >>> break_long_words=False ['123', '123', '12345', '67', '12'] It is expected that '67' and '12' should be

Irit Katriel added the comment: You can do this already with the break_long_words arg of testwrap: >>> import itertools, textwrap >>> wr = textwrap.wrap >>> list(itertools.chain(*(wr(x, 5) for x in wr("123 123 1234567", width=5, >>> break_long_words=False ['123', '123', '12345', '67']
