Message 267059 - Python tracker (original) (raw)
Having occasionally forgotten, and had to do whitespace commits, I agree. For Python code, there is never an absolute need for trailing whitespace. Trailing whitespace in string literals can be done by parse time concatenation.
'''
line 1
line 2
''' 'line with trailig space '
Indeed, the trick is needed to mark the trailing space in the code.
I have thought about removing trailing spaces after each return, but pasting may be a problem.
