I can see both outdent(padding="|") and outdent(size=4) being useful in various cases. If this ends up being the recommendation, I would also suggest adding str.indent(), it evens out the methods and most of the time I use the textwrap functions it is either indent or outdent, so this would clean up those pieces. So... how does one go about suggesting changes to the built in types? I could take a whack at the code for it, but my C skills are no where near what should probably be needed for something this close to the core of the language. I'm not sure if adding a couple of methods is a PEP type of thing. Dan Strohl -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
