:-)

I just tried your branch (using Py3.6, fwiw): it works well for "normal"
paragraphs, but the ImageAndFlowables still behaves oddly. I tried to execute
it under pdb but I have (again! sorry :-\) the feeling that I'm missing
something in the logic.

Anyway, I'm attaching the sample script I used, and an image showing the place
where the hyphenation does not happen, even when there's plenty of space to
split the words "semplicemente" and "avanzare".

All the best,
ciao, lele.
