This was the reason that made me consider backporting this on the other branches. After all I expect this feature to be used from the terminal, while printing JSON in a human-friendly format and in other situations were trailing spaces would have little or no importance. OTOH people might be used pretty-printed JSON in tests to get a better a diff for example, and changing that in a debug release might be annoying. IOW the annoyance of having trailing spaces if it doesn't get fixed evens out the annoyance of having a possibly unwanted change of behavior if it does get fixed. Serhiy patches look good to me (modulo a couple of minor typos), so I will probably apply them as soon as I get a chance. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16333> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
