I just wanted to add another use case: long messages. Consider those lines from idlelib/run.py:133

You are missing an important point here: There are intentionally no line breaks in this string; it must be a single line, or else showerror will break it in funny ways. So converting it to a multi-line string would break it, dedent or not. Regards, Martin
