@nedbat Write a wrapper for pytest that collects the output, counts the characters. While prime, subtract an odd number greater than 1 for the last line of an overflow. When non-prime, pick two factors near the square root (one of which is more than the overflow) and make a rectangle (perhaps with an overflow line.)
I know it sounds complicated, but there are folks willing to let an LLM generate code from this.
@billseitz@CodenameTim@nedbat Upon reflection, this would be a pretty interesting feature to add to a terminal program (random delay for an orphaned "."). Just imagine how angry people would be when they finally figured out that the delay wasn't the test at all.
@nedbat That's a lot of new tests needed for a good dots feng shui. Maybe write a single new one with a loop and use the subtests fixture? Then you can detect the terminal width and scale the loop to always fill it correctly.
