Pulp

I don't think that this is unique to pulp-admin, but my report is specifically for that. Anyway, pulp-admin automatically linewraps output, which is pretty, but makes it difficult to parse and make use of the data that it outputs since it's often truncated and completed on multiple lines. Since we use excessively long labels by default, it makes it quite difficult to work with:

This makes human parsing a bit challenging at times and makes automatic parsing of the output quite difficult. It also breaks format of SSL CA Cert keys.

One can work around this in an ugly way by specifying:

wrap_to_terminal = false
wrap_width = <some arbitrary long value longer than the longest field>

...which is unappealing, and also has us create really, really long dividers and the like in our attempt to prettify the output. I put a hack in to limit the dividers to 80 characters, but that's not really a fix. It'd be nice if we could just disable line-wrapping as an option here.
