[issue2635] textwrap: bug in 'fix_sentence_endings' option

[Giuseppe Scelsi]

New submission from Giuseppe Scelsi <giuseppe.scelsi at analog.com>:

>>> textwrap.fill('File stdio.h is nice.',
...     fix_sentence_endings=True)
'File stdio.h  is nice.'
              ^-- wrong double space!

The problem is with the compiled regexp 'sentence_end_re' in
'textwrap.py'.  A possible fix would be to add the following line after
line 90 in textwrap.py:

    r'$'  # end of chunk
