I see a lot of flawed "proposals". This is clearly a python-ideas discussion. (Anatoly, take note -- please post your new gripe there.)

In the mean time, there's a reasonable work-around if you have to copy/paste a large block of formatted code:

exec(''' . . . . . . ''')

The only thing that you can't put in there is a triple-quoted string using single quotes.
