Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:

Hm, I'm not sure. ast.literal_eval() does accept trailing whitespace, and 
embedded whitespace.

```
>>> ast.literal_eval("- ( 1\n)\n")
-1
>>> 
```

So I think it should start accepting leading whitespace too (but only in a 
feature release, so 3.10).
