New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: Some characters take more than one column in a terminal, especially CJK (chinese, japanese, korean) characters. If you use such character in a terminal without taking care of the width in columns of each character, the text alignment can be broken. Issue #2382 is an example of this problem.
#2382 and #6755 have patches implementing such function: - unicode_width.patch of #2382 adds unicode.width() method - ucs2w.c of #6755 creates a new ucs2w module with two functions: unichr2w() (width of a character) and ucs2w() (width of a string) Use test_ucs2w.py of #6755 to test these new functions/methods. ---------- components: Unicode messages: 140376 nosy: haypo, inigoserna priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add functions to get the width in columns of a character versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12568> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
