Hm... there's a wrap_text() hiding inside the Distutils, in the
fancy_getopt module.  Perhaps it should be moved out of the Distutils
and into the standard library.  You could import it from
distutils.fancy_getopt, but that has two marks against it;
fancy_getopt is a weird module name to be importing a wrap_text
function from, and I don't commit to preserving the interface of what
is currently an internal function.
