Should entity breakage be further discouraged by returning a slice here rather than an object index? Something like: i = first_grapheme(u) x = 0 while x < width and u[i] != "\n": x, _ = draw(u[i], (x, y)) i = next_grapheme(u, i) Neil _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
