python PIL draw multiline text on image

Question

I try to add text at the bottom of image and actually I've done it, but in case of my text is longer then image width it is cut from both sides, to simplify I would like text to be in multiple lines if it is longer than image width. Here is my code:

FOREGROUND = (255, 255, 255)
WIDTH = 375
HEIGHT = 50
TEXT = 'Chyba najwy?szy czas zada? to pytanie na ?niadanie 
 Chyba najwy?szy czas zada? to pytanie na ?niadanie'
font_path = '/Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf'
font = ImageFont.truetype(font_path, 14, encoding='unic')
text = TEXT.decode('utf-8')
(width, height) = font.getsize(text)

x = Image.open('media/converty/image.png')
y = ImageOps.expand(x,border=2,fill='white')
y = ImageOps.expand(y,border=30,fill='black')

w, h = y.size
bg = Image.new('RGBA', (w, 1000), "#000000")

W, H = bg.size
xo, yo = (W-w)/2, (H-h)/2
bg.paste(y, (xo, 0, xo+w, h))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(bg)
draw.text(((w - width)/2, w), text, font=font, fill=FOREGROUND)


bg.show()
bg.save('media/converty/test.png')

Answer 1

You could use textwrap.wrap to break text into a list of strings, each at most width characters long:

import textwrap
lines = textwrap.wrap(text, width=40)
y_text = h
for line in lines:
    width, height = font.getsize(line)
    draw.text(((w - width) / 2, y_text), line, font=font, fill=FOREGROUND)
    y_text += height
