A related issue(which I believe has no topic in this forum yet) is substituting an expression that results in a multiline string into a multiline f-string while matching its indentation. If a new type of string prefix is made to auto-dedent, maybe the substitutions should match the local indentation. Some related stackoverflow posts: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36739667/python-templates-for-generating-python-code-with-proper-multiline-indentation https://stackoverflow.com/a/57189263/2976410 I.e. ideally we would have: ```python def make_g_code(): nl='\n' return d"""\ def g(): {nl.join(something(i) for i in range(n))} return something_else """ ``` This still has issues. Newline needs to be put into a variable, for instance. In the case of using this template for languages, great many use braces for delimiting blocks and those need to be escaped inside f-strings. An implementation that works with spaces only (does not suit my case where mixed indentation is possible) is here: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/578835-string-templates-with-adaptive-indenting/ Please let me know if this is the wrong place to comment on this issue. ---------- nosy: +Miguel Amaral _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36906> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
