[New-bugs-announce] [issue4163] textwrap wordsep_re Unicode

[Sebastian Kirsche]

New submission from Sebastian Kirsche <sebastian.kirsche at gmail.com>:

The attached patch makes textwrap work with strings containing dashes 
and Unicode alphabetic characters. In addition, it fixes the test case 
for issue 1149508, which no longer failed after temporarily undoing the 
corresponding change.


Example 1:
    print textwrap.fill(u'Die Empfänger-Auswahl', 13)

Output without patch: 
    Die Empf
    änger-Auswahl

With patch:
    Die
    Empfänger-
    Auswahl


Example 2:
    print textwrap.fill(u'aa ää-ää', 7)

Output without patch:
    aa
    ää-ää

With patch:
    aa ää-
    ää
