I am writing the plot of a movie from OMDB API. I want to limit the plot value to be within 80 length in the output. I have searched but, could not found anything. The jsonvalues['Plot'] can contain more than 80 characters. I want to print its value in multiple lines.
import urllib
import json
name = raw_input('Enter the movie name >')
url = "http://www.omdbapi.com/?t="+name+"&r="+"json"
response = urllib.urlopen(url).read()
jsonvalues = json.loads(response)
if jsonvalues["Response"]=="True":
print jsonvalues["imdbRating"]
print 'The plot of the movie is: '+jsonvalues['Plot']
else:
print "The movie name was not found"
