                                    <p>Yes, it is if you take the time to have a look at the docementation and to try out what you read there... I need to practice that a bit more. :D</p>

<p>Don't worry about "thumbs up", I'll get back to that as soon as I have seen more solutions.</p>

                                    <p>The official docs say: "Library reference - Keep this under your pillow". While ebook readers are not really suitable for keeping under pillows, keeping them on your nightstand does help. ;-D</p>

                                    <p>Wow!  We prob. can find more interesting use cases to leverage the power of textwrap... later.
Thank you for sharing.  (i used it before, but never thought about it here ;-(   </p>

                                    <p>I like the point made with </p>

<ul>
<li>3<em>'.'</em>(shortened<original)</li>
</ul>

<p>but this is easier to read and only a little longer :)</p>

<ul>
<li>('...' if shortened &lt; original else '')</li>
</ul>

                                    <p>Length is not an issue. I wanted to teach people something (as you said, you "like the point made"), namely, that in Python, Iverson can be used with strings, not only numbers. ;-)</p>

                                    <p>Good solution. ... and I have counted spaces. ;-) Maybe I should search for a fitting library next time, first.</p>
