Could nottextwrap.wrap(replace_whitespace=False, drop_whitespace=False) be used here?

Perhaps. I experimented a little bit withtextwrap.TextWrapper but it does not support custom suffix like line continuation characters.

A simpler approach could be to usetextwrap,thensplit("\n") and prepend/append the needed quotes and continuation:

wrapped=textwrap.wrap(...)forlineinwrapped:# add indent, add quoted line, add suffix and newline

prefix + separator.join(textwrap.wrap(...)) + suffix

prefix + separator.join(textwrap.wrap(...)) + suffix

Unfortunately, not so simple.

For example, we don't want the suffix to be applied to the last line.

I think3de2378 should do the trick.

Thank you for the reviews!
