There is a very long string , You want to reformat the string , So that it can be displayed according to the specified width .
Regarding this , have access to textwrap Module to reformat the output . for example , You have the following long string ：
s = "Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, \
the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around the eyes, \
look into my eyes, you're under."
Use textwrap modular , You can achieve the following effects ：
>>> import textwrap
>>> print(textwrap.fill(s, 70))
Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, the eyes,
not around the eyes, don't look around the eyes, look into my eyes,
you're under.
>>> print(textwrap.fill(s, 40))
Look into my eyes, look into my eyes,
the eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around
the eyes, don't look around the eyes,
look into my eyes, you're under.
>>> print(textwrap.fill(s, 40, initial_indent=' ')) # The first line indentation
Look into my eyes, look into my
eyes, the eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not
around the eyes, don't look around the
eyes, look into my eyes, you're under.
>>> print(textwrap.fill(s, 40, subsequent_indent=' ')) # Indent lines except the first line
Look into my eyes, look into my eyes,
the eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not
around the eyes, don't look around
the eyes, look into my eyes, you're
under.
textwrap The module can also adaptively adjust the output text according to the actual size of the terminal , If you want to achieve this effect , The terminal dimensions can be obtained first by using the following methods ：

class TextWrapper:
""" Object for wrapping/filling text. The public interface consists of the wrap() and fill() methods; the other methods are just there for subclasses to override in order to tweak the default behaviour. If you want to completely replace the main wrapping algorithm, you'll probably have to override _wrap_chunks(). Several instance attributes control various aspects of wrapping: width (default: 70) the maximum width of wrapped lines (unless break_long_words is false) initial_indent (default: "") string that will be prepended to the first line of wrapped output. Counts towards the line's width. subsequent_indent (default: "") string that will be prepended to all lines save the first of wrapped output; also counts towards each line's width. expand_tabs (default: true) Expand tabs in input text to spaces before further processing. Each tab will become 0 .. 'tabsize' spaces, depending on its position in its line. If false, each tab is treated as a single character. tabsize (default: 8) Expand tabs in input text to 0 .. 'tabsize' spaces, unless 'expand_tabs' is false. replace_whitespace (default: true) Replace all whitespace characters in the input text by spaces after tab expansion. Note that if expand_tabs is false and replace_whitespace is true, every tab will be converted to a single space! fix_sentence_endings (default: false) Ensure that sentence-ending punctuation is always followed by two spaces. Off by default because the algorithm is (unavoidably) imperfect. break_long_words (default: true) Break words longer than 'width'. If false, those words will not be broken, and some lines might be longer than 'width'. break_on_hyphens (default: true) Allow breaking hyphenated words. If true, wrapping will occur preferably on whitespaces and right after hyphens part of compound words. drop_whitespace (default: true) Drop leading and trailing whitespace from lines. max_lines (default: None) Truncate wrapped lines. placeholder (default: ' [...]') Append to the last line of truncated text.
