What is this library??
The textwrap module in Python is used to format and manipulate plain text, especially for wrapping long strings into lines of a specified width. It's a helpful utility for creating clean, readable text output in scenarios like console applications, logging, or generating user-facing text.
You need to import this library using the following:
import textwrap
Commonly Used Functions
Commonly Used Functions
textwrap.wrap(text, width=70)
Wraps a string into a list of lines, each with a maximum width.
Each line is stored as a string in a list.
text: the string to wrap
width: the max number of characters to wrap it
textwrap.fill(text, width=70)
Similar to wrap(), but instead of returning a list, it returns a single formatted string with line breaks.
