This issue is to correct the list of whitespace characters to replace in the documentation for the textwrap module's TextWrapper.replace_whitespace attribute.
The documentation says this list is string.whitespace:
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/textwrap.html#textwrap.TextWrapper.replace_whitespace
However, the code deliberately avoids using string.whitespace and uses a hard-coded list of characters instead. For example, see this code comment:
# Hardcode the recognized whitespace characters to the US-ASCII
# whitespace characters. The main reason for doing this is that in
# ISO-8859-1, 0xa0 is non-breaking whitespace, so in certain locales
# that character winds up in string.whitespace....
