[issue18335] Add textwrap.dedent, .indent, as str methods.
Martin Panter added the comment: If this goes ahead, would a bytes.dedent() method be also considered? I recently discovered that textwrap.dedent() does not work on bytes() in Python 3. I would have used it for the contents of an input file in a test case. For the record there’s an older issue 1237680 on this, rejected in 2005. -- nosy: +vadmium ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18335 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Nick Coghlan added the comment:
It turns out there's one slight wrinkle in this grand plan: it won't work for
docstrings without some additional tweaking to allow for method calls in the
docstring detection.

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: str already have too many methods. Who uses str.swapcase() or str.zfill() now?

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: .dedent() is a no-brainer. JFDI. +1 .indent() I guess makes sense for symmetry, although I've rarely used it. -0 As for docstrings, I can imagine other alternatives, so let's let someone interested in that go through the PEP process. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18335 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue18335] Add textwrap.dedent, .indent, as str methods.
New submission from Terry J. Reedy: To end proposals for new syntax to do what they do for triple-quoted strings. Nick Coghlan gave reasons as follows: run time cost small, can be optimized away, would be used more than some other string methods. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2013-July/021717.html In response, Guido said That's a compelling argument. Let's do it. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2013-July/021718.html -- messages: 192109 nosy: ncoghlan, terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Add textwrap.dedent, .indent, as str methods. type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18335 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
