This is nice. I was thinking of doing this as a tales formatter like
shorten:
release/file/name/fmt:ellipse/32
I will steal liberally from you example. I was planning to use kiko's
thoughts.
kiko: middle = len(str)/2
kiko: return s[:middle - 2] + "[...]" + s[middle+2]
kiko: or something like that
kiko: taking care of the corner cases (len(s) < middle * 2, etc)
