> As discussed on the mailing list, it would be nice to leverage Python's
> expressive string syntax to not perform lots of escaping of Avro schemas
> defined in code and make the schemas more readable.
> This patch cleans up schemas in testio.py to make them more readable. Note
> that to get this to pass the tests, I had to implement a new
> "remove_whitespace()" helper function to replace the current naive approach
> to replacing whitespace (s.replace(" ", "") is not going to cut it). I also
> object to the round-trip string conversion test, as noted in the comments to
> this patch, but I'll save that change for another patch to better separate
> concerns.
> If this code change is deemed useful, I'll convert the rest of the schemas in
> the Python code to leverage Python's string formatting. I have a ridiculously
> naive tool that I used for schema conversion that I threw up at
> http://github.com/hammer/avro-tools/blob/master/pprint_avsc for those
> interested.
