import textwrap

s = """Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly 
       and integrate systems more effectively. The core of extensible programming 
       is defining functions. Python allows mandatory and optional arguments, 
       keyword arguments, and even arbitrary argument lists."""

dedented_text = textwrap.dedent(s)     
wrap_text = textwrap.fill(dedented_text, width=40)     
show_s = textwrap.indent(wrap_text, '> ')     
print(show_s)
