Message 174100 - Python tracker (original) (raw)
To Ezio's first point ... yes, I was wondering if trailing whitespace should be left alone in the case of an explicitly defined separator. However, this behavior seems a little odd to me as I don't see a use case for it (happy to change the patch if there are differing opinions on this).
Keep in mind that the patch does retain the leading white space (for both default and explicit separators) - only trailing whitespace is removed prior to newlines.
