The user expects what they read in the documentation of what they learn in other programming languages. If we update the documentation their expectation will change. As for other programming languages, Bash has an option for stripping all leading tab characters from a here document, and in Julia triple-quoted strings are dedented (https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/strings/#Triple-Quoted-String-Literals-1). Since Julia is a competitor of Python in science applications, I think that significant fraction of Python users expected Python triple-quoted strings be dedented too, especially if they are dedented by help() and other tools. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
