Logged In: YES user_id=80475 After more thought, I think the expandtabs() is a bug since it expands content tabs as well as margin tabs: >>> textwrap.dedent('\tABC\t\tDEF') 'ABC DEF' This is especially problematic given that dedent() has to guess at the tab size. If this gets fixed, I recommend using regular expressions as a way to indentify common margin prefixes on non-empty lines. This will also mixes of spaces and tabs without altering content with embedded tabs and without making assumptions about the tab size. Also, it ought to run somewhat faster.
