If you are wanting to split the text in python, just use splices!
MAX_LENGTH = 252
mystr = """
this is actually a very very long text blob about why this guy on his
blog thinks that IE is evil, though it has no real content and is really
just a waiste of time reading!
"""
You can go
shortstr = mystr[0:MAX_LENGTH] + "..."
or
lastword = mystr.find(" ", MAX_LENGTH)
shortstr = mystr[0:lastword] + "..."
