Consider, for example, a Python source code
editor where you want to limit the length of the line based on the
number of characters more typically than based on the number of pixels.
Even there you need to go based on the width in character cells. Most
characters for East Asian languages occupy two character cells.
It would be nice if there was an easy way to get str.format to use this
width instead of the length in code points for the purpose of padding.
You could always put in a feature request :-)
I believe that there is a request that at least one of the string
functions be character width aware, using the unicodedatabase.
