Yes you are right. If closing triple quote is on a separate line , I can use the last line contents and extract it from previous lines. I should have remembered that trick and it is cool actually. So technically I can do it. So my point was that it would be cool to have a dedicated statement for this and so it works on parser level plus would look cleaner (no closing quotes), and no need to care about escaping of """ sequence if it appears inside the string, but I think that would be impossible without the parser knowing the indent method in advance. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
