Functions   
docstringLStrip
endsInNewline
greedyWrap
isMultiline
stringyString
  docstringLStrip 
docstringLStrip ( docstring )

Gets rid of unsightly lefthand docstring whitespace residue.

You'd think someone would have done this already, but apparently not in 1.5.2.

  endsInNewline 
endsInNewline ( s )

Returns True if this string ends in a newline.

  greedyWrap 
greedyWrap ( inString,  width=80 )

Given a string and a column width, return a list of lines.

Caveat: I'm use a stupid greedy word-wrapping algorythm. I won't put two spaces at the end of a sentence. I don't do full justification. And no, I've never even heard of hypenation.

  isMultiline 
isMultiline ( s )

Returns True if this string has a newline in it.

  stringyString 
stringyString ( object,  indentation='' )

Expansive string formatting for sequence types.

list.__str__ and dict.__str__ use repr() to display their elements. This function also turns these sequence types into strings, but uses str() on their elements instead.

Sequence elements are also displayed on seperate lines, and nested sequences have nested indentation.
