Re: [Python-Dev] str.dedent

From the sound of it, it's probably not worth endowing every string object with this method and hardcoding its implementation forever in C code. There are so many corner cases and variations on the functionality of "dedenting" a block that it's better to keep it as Python source code.

Hi,

some time ago, I proposed a string method "dedent" (which currently is in the textwrap module). The RFE is at http://python.org/sf/1237680.

Any opinions? If I don't get positive comments, I'll reject it.
