here is what I get
[code]
import re
reSplitObj=re.compile('([ \t]*)|([^ \t]*)')
def evenReplace(aStr, length):
aStr=aStr.rstrip()
tmp=reSplitObj.split(aStr)
tmp=[i for i in tmp if i not in ['', None]]
lenStr=[[0, len(i)][i.strip()!=''] for i in tmp]
lenSpc=[[0, len(i)][i.strip()==''] for i in tmp]
while sum(lenStr)+sum(lenSpc)>length:
if sum(lenSpc):
lenSpc[lenSpc.index(max(lenSpc))]-=1
else:
break
newSpc=[' '*i for i in lenSpc]
_=[]
for i in range(len(tmp)):
item=tmp[i]
if item.strip()!='':
_.append(item+newSpc[i])
else:
_.append(newSpc[i])
return ''.join(_)
if __name__=='__main__':
a='hello world'
b= evenReplace(a, 5)
print 'a="%s", len=%0i' %(a, len(a))
print 'b="%s", len=%0i' %(b, len(b))
print
a='hello world yeah event even '
b= evenReplace(a, 27)
print 'a="%s", len=%0i' %(a, len(a))
print 'b="%s", len=%0i' %(b, len(b))
print
