Comment (by arien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
I think you can argue either way. The approach I took was to truncate
immediately after the ''n''th word if the the input string had any
characters following it. The reason: {{{"Truncates a string after a
certain number of words."}}} {{{;-)}}}
What seem to be proposing is to return a string that has no more than
''n'' words in it. (I think that'll mean counting spaces and not words.
We'll see...) Does this look reasonable?
{{{
>>> truncatewords(u' Double-spaced text. ', 2) # and above
u' Double-spaced text. '
>>> truncatewords(u' Double-spaced text. ', 1)
u' Double-spaced ...'
>>> truncatewords(u' Double-spaced text. ', 0) # and below
u' ...'
}}}
