Emily Morehouse added the comment:
I concur with Martin, whitespace is not expected to be preserved on
whitespace-only lines nor even considered when finding common leading
whitepace. To illustrate this, see the examples below:
The following yields the same (expected) results:
> python2 -c 'from textwrap import dedent; print repr(dedent(" " * 2 + "\n"
+ " " * 4 + "\t\n"))'
> '\n\n'
And a simplified version of a test case from test_textwrap.py:
> python2 -c 'from textwrap import dedent; print repr(dedent(" Foo\n \n"))'
> 'Foo\n\n'
