compat.textwrap.dedent API [rev. 38799]

def dedent(text):

dedent(text : string) -> string Remove any whitespace than can be uniformly removed from the left of every line in `text`. This can be used e.g. to make triple-quoted strings line up with the left edge of screen/whatever, while still presenting it in the source code in indented form. For example: def test(): # end first line with \ to avoid the empty line! s = ''' hello world ''' print repr(s) # prints ' hello world ' print repr(dedent(s)) # prints 'hello world '
