@Guido: Thanks for the suggestion, it fixes my immediate problem! @Mark: Yup, that was exactly my issue. It took a while to figure out why the heck it was ignoring my linebreaks, and then once I'd found replace_whitespace it appeared to be doing the "wrong" thing to me. I'm still for the changing of the behaviour to what I expected, but I can live with this otherwise. Documenting that this is the behaviour in the textwrap docs, and suggesting workarounds for those who want the other choice might be a good idea tho.
