For example, you have if check_something(): wall_of_text = textwrap.dedent(""" this is a multiline string """.strip("\n"))

For example, you have if check_something(): wall_of_text = textwrap.dedent(""" this is a multiline string """.strip("\n")) I hope you agree it's ugly. And you want to make it if check_something(): wall_of_text = textwrap.dedent("""\ this is a multiline string """.strip("\n")) But I don't know any formatter which does this automatically. Because the change here not only changes the looking, it changes semantic. The formatter has to understand that after `textwrap.dedent(_.strip("\n"))` the result does not change and that's hard. So formatter just leave it alone. But it's extremely obvious to a human. Or maybe extremely obvious to a LLM too.
