I don't have Python 3.6 installed, can somebody check to see whether or not it

' ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.')
print(textwrap.fill(text, 59))
Expected result:
Lorum ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit
ZZZ ZZZ sed do euismod tempor incididunt ut labore et
dolore magna aliqua.
Actual result in Python 3.5 and older:
Lorum ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit ZZZ
ZZZ sed do euismod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore
magna aliqua.
I'm pretty sure this is a bug.
Yes, it is a bug, but a known one: https://bugs.python.org/issue20491
The fix got backported even to 3.5, but I guess it depends which minor
version you are running. I'm pretty sure that explains why people report
different outcomes.
Best,
