A simple .strip() doesn't work if the code comprises multiple lines:
>>> def f():
... return """
... x = 42
... if x > 0:
... print x
... """
...
>>> exec "if 1:\n" + f().rstrip()
42
>>> exec f().strip()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 2
if x > 0:
^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
You can of course split the code into lines, calculate the indentation of
the first non-white line, remove that indentation from all lines and then
rejoin.
