I agree that wcswidth is incorrect with respect to Unicode. However I don't think that's relevant at all. Python should only try to match the behaviour of the terminal. Since terminals do slightly different things, trying to match them exactly - in all cases, on all systems - is virtually impossible. But AFAICT wcwidth should match the terminal behaviour on nearly all modern systems, so it makes sense to expose it. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
