Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Having occasionally forgotten, and had to do whitespace commits, I agree. For Python code, there is never an absolute need for trailing whitespace. Trailing whitespace in string literals can be done by parse time concatenation. '''\ line 1 line 2 ''' 'line with trailig space ' Indeed, the trick is needed to mark the trailing space in the code.
I have thought about removing trailing spaces after each return, but pasting may be a problem. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5150> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
