Indeed, I don't really like this syntax. I do like if there'd be a way to spell 'multiline string with indentation chopped off'. The easiest way (syntax-wise) would be to just have tripple quote do that, but that's gonna give backward compat problems.
These cases would be fine: a = """Some text. Some more text.""" def f(x): """"Translates x into Hungarian. Does it quite badly.""" pass This wouldn't: a = """Some text. Some intentionally indented text.""" How often do people rely on those tabs or spaces being preserved? Neil
