I think a simple stripping of white-space in

would solve 95 % of common indentation and concatenation cases. I don't think provision for merging is needed very often. If text occurs deeply nested in code, then it is also quite likely to be part of an expression, anyway. My major use-case is text constants in a class or function that is multiple lines long and should be statically ready to use without calling a function.
(here an 's' as a strip prefix, but I'm not sold on that)
This is not a good solution for long lines where you don't want to have embedded line endings. Taken from existing code: _litmonth = ('(?P<litmonth>' 'jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec|' 'mär|mae|mrz|mai|okt|dez|' 'fev|avr|juin|juil|aou|aoû|déc|' 'ene|abr|ago|dic|' 'out' ')[a-z,\.;]*') or raise errors.DataError( 'Inconsistent revenue item currency: ' 'transaction=%r; transaction_position=%r' % (transaction, transaction_position)) We usually try to keep the code line length under 80 chars, so splitting literals in that way is rather common, esp. in nested code paths. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, May 11 2013)
