Python: ConfigError should insert line breaks into the error message
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST
Actions

Description

Not every user has a super wide display and in the console world there is the ancient 80/25 character "limit".

As we simply show the error message when ConfigError() is triggered this can span over the entire
screen. We should invoke textwrap to automatically split the text at 72 characters to have a uniform
length used all over the system when error messages are shown.
