Or you can just use the cjkwrap.py file alone, nothing more needed!

Usage

cjklen() and cjkslices() to replace built-in len() and slicing:

>>> import cjkwrap
>>> cjkwrap.cjklen(u"最終的には良い長さ")
18
>>> head, tail = cjkwrap.cjkslices(u"最終的には良い長さ", 6)
>>> print head
最終的
>>> print tail
には良い長さ

As cjklen() uses len() for non unicode stuff, you can safely do this:

>>> from cjkwrap import cjklen as len
>>> len(u"最終的には良い長さ")
18
>>> len('ascii string')
12
>>> len([1, 2, 3, 4])
4

wrap() and fill() to replace the ones from the Python standard library:

>>> wrapped_cjk = cjkwrap.wrap(u"最終的に良いラッピング", 10)
>>> for line in wrapped_cjk: print line
...
最終的に良
いラッピン
グ
>>> print cjkwrap.fill(u"最終的に良いラッピング", 10)
最終的に良
いラッピン
グ

Mixed content is allowed:

>>> cjkwrap.cjklen(u"CJK 最終的には良い長さ")
22
>>> print cjkwrap.fill(u"CJK 最終的には良い長さ", 10)
CJK 最終的
には良い長
