While the string method works pretty well, I do not think this is the best way. If 98% of multiline string will need deindenting, it is better to do it by default. For those 2% that do not need deintentation, it can be prohibited by adding the backslash followed by a newline at first position (except the start of the string). For example: smile = '''\ XX XX X X XXX X X XX X XX \ ''' Yes, this is breaking change. But we have import from __future__ and FutureWarning. The plan may be: 3.9. Implement "from __future__ import deindent". 3.11. Emit a FutureWarning for multiline literals that will be changed by dedending if "from __future__ import deindent" is not specified. 3.13. Make it the default behavior. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36906> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
