Truncate a string without ending in the middle of a word

Question

I am looking for a way to truncate a string in Python that will not cut off the string in the middle of a word.

For example:

Original:          \"This is          


        

Answer 1

>>> import textwrap
>>> textwrap.wrap('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog', 12)
['The quick', 'brown fox', 'jumps over', 'the lazy dog']

You just take the first element of that and you're done...
