Time sometimes doesn't align in search results about yewtube HOT 8 CLOSED

Yes, that bugs me. If someone could tell me how to fix that I'd be grateful! It looks like some characters are taking two spaces. Need to work out how many there are in each line and adjust the formatting accordingly.

I'm not sure if this fixable without performing some hard settings to make sure the columns always start at a certain location. Reading through the following pages seems to indicate that there is nothing we can do to make the characters behave:

I have improved the alignment in https://github.com/np1/mps-youtube/commit/34f0435f7b370b6a57255a93ecaa2b8f50b304d8 on the develop branch, it's better but still not perfect with many search results.

I have tested with Python2.7.5 and 3.3. If someone could also test on Windows that would be great.

I'm not on windows but on my Ubuntu machine Japanese and Korean characters are pretty good. Thai was a little mangled as was a listing that had no non-latin characters that I could see:

Some symbols are still causing some issue:

Thanks for testing. I have spent quite a lot of time on this and haven't been able to get it any better. Yes it's weird that result 7 of your first screenshot is misaligned. I have tested this in the current version on branch master by searching for "north korean song" and it's also misaligned there so it seems I haven't made anything worse. I just hope I didn't break anything on Win!

hm maybe pprint module could be used to force output width=80 (or some other way to make it default to 80 which should always be default for terminal outputs)

I doubt pprint can help with this but would be happy to be proved wrong!

The problem with the north Korean song is that there is a \ufeff BOM between "of" and " revolution".
