To Truncate a Word to # of chars

emm.. But wait a sec! How do I call a python function from
django
template. I don't think it is allowed, meaning that I'd
still have to
write a filter using textwrap:

>>> wrap('siasookhteh', 5)
['siaso', 'okhte', 'h']

Reading the source code of the "slice" filter in
Django it looks to me
like it should work on strings as well as lists. If you only
need to
truncate and discard the extra characters, that would be the
way to go.
