New submission from Tuomas Salo:
This code:
import textwrap
textwrap.wrap("123 123 1234567", width=5)
currently* produces this output:
['123', '123 1', '23456', '7']
I would expect the textwrap module to only break words when absolutely
necessary. That is, I would have expected it to produce one break less:
['123', '123', '12345', '67']
This is of course a matter of taste - the current implementation produces more
efficiently filled lines.
(* I only have access to Python 2.7 and 3.4)
