Why not simply fix getpot to keep spaces within strings, and enhance it to accept something like '''triple quoted strings''' (which go unparsed) in Python?Agreed - there are also lots of other delimiter options… like "&" for instance… it's used the column delimiter in Latex so maybe it wouldn't be too much of a stretch?
Ampersand is not an option; it's already used as logical-and by fparser. I actually am starting to like brace enclosures; too much C/C++/etc on the brain has that feeling like a natural syntax for function writing. There's still no excuse for the whitespace and quoting issues. --- Roy
