First of all you should move message.decode('utf-8') call out of "if" and you don't need "if" anyway because if the line is less than 54 textwrap won't touch it: message = message.decode('utf-8') strlist = textwrap.wrap(message, 54) I don't know Japanese but the following example *seems* to work fine for me: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- sample=u""" """ import textwrap for line in textwrap.wrap(sample, 6): print line -------------------------------- Result: Can you post a short example that clearly demonstrates the problem? -- Leo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
