I have written in private because I really feel this discussion is out- of-place here. This thread is already in the first page of google results for “python unicode line breaking”, “python uax #14” etc. I feel it would be good to use this place to discuss Unicode line breaking, not best practices on asking questions, or in how disappointly impolite the Internet has become. (Briefly: As a tech support professional myself, I prefer direct, concise questions than crufty ones; and I try to ask questions in the most direct manner precisely _because_ I don’t want to waste the time of kind volunteers with my problems.) As for taking the time to provide information, I wonder if there was any technical problem that prevented you from seeing my reply to Stefan, sent Jan 14, 12:29PM? He asked how exacly the stdlib module “textwrap” differs from the Unicode algorithm, so I provided some commented examples. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
