Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

This API is mainly for Terminal Emulator implementors -- any python program that attempts to determine the printable width of a string on a Terminal. It is implemented in python (no C library calls) and has no 3rd-party dependencies. It is certainly possible to use your Operating System's wcwidth(3) and wcswidth(3) calls if it is POSIX-conforming, but this would not be possible on non-POSIX platforms, such as Windows, or for alternative Python implementations, such as jython. It is also commonly many releases older than the most current Unicode Standard release files, which this project aims to track.
