Description

Terminal layouts can calculate the displayed width of Unicode text in legacy Python 2 programs. This library helps command-line tools align tables, prompts, and progress output when wide or combining characters appear.

It is imported by terminal applications and does not render text by itself. Correct display still depends on terminal font and Unicode support.
