Try adding:
   lines.append(text)

between the two for loops - you currently seem to be missing the last line of text.

If your test string was < 116 characters, this would explain your problem.

Of course, if you have the option of playing with Python 2.3 then the program 
looks like:
=======
from textwrap import wrap

def render_text(text):
   lines = wrap(text, 58)
   for line in lines:
     # Do whatever it was you were doing in here
=======

Cheers,
Nick.
