I would prefer to remove the padding, like this:
Test = """
| Hello, this is a
| Multiline indented
|String
""".outdent(padding='|')
Or write it like this?
Test = """| Hello, this is a
| Multiline indented
|String
""".outdent(padding='|')
Hmm, the sign of Zorro! :-)
I'm starting to like outdent(), but that may be my TIMTOWTDIism
speaking.
