Query

Write a python function `dedent(str)` that takes as input a string of python code and de-dents it maximally. Lines that are entirely blank don't count.

Here's a Python function that de-dents a string of Python code as much as possible while preserving relative indentation:

    # Split into lines
    lines = s.splitlines()
    
    # Find minimum indentation, ignoring empty lines
    min_indent = float('inf')
    for line in lines:
        if line.strip():  # Skip empty or whitespace-only lines
            indent = len(line) - len(line.lstrip())
            min_indent = min(min_indent, indent)

    if min_indent == float('inf'):

    for line in lines:
        if line.strip():  # If line has content
            dedented_lines.append(line[min_indent:])
        else:  # Keep empty lines as is
            dedented_lines.append(line)
    
    # Join lines back together with original line endings
    return '\n'.join(dedented_lines)
This function: 1. Splits the input string into lines 2. Finds the minimum indentation level among all non-empty lines 3. Removes that amount of indentation from all non-empty lines 4. Preserves empty lines as they are 5. Joins the lines back together Here are some example uses:

# Example 3: Already unindented
code3 = """
def main():
    pass
"""
print(dedent(code3))
# Output:
# def main():
#     pass
The function handles various edge cases: - Empty strings - Strings with only whitespace - Already unindented code - Mixed indentation (preserving relative indentation) - Empty lines - Lines with only whitespace Note that the function preserves the relative indentation between lines while removing any common leading indentation. This maintains the code's structure while making it as left-aligned as possible.

The function maintains relative indentation between lines while removing any common leading whitespace. This is particularly useful when working with multi-line strings that contain code, as it allows you to maintain proper indentation in your source code while still producing correctly indented output.

The function handles these cases: - Empty input strings - Strings with empty lines - Mixed indentation levels - Leading and trailing newlines - Tabs or spaces for indentation (though mixing tabs and spaces might give unexpected results) It preserves the relative indentation between lines while removing the common minimum indentation from all non-empty lines.

The function handles various edge cases: - Strings with only blank lines - Strings with mixed indentation - Strings that are already minimally indented - Strings with blank lines intermixed with code - Strings with tabs or spaces for indentation (though it treats each tab as a single character) Note that this function preserves the relative indentation between lines while removing the common minimum indentation from all non-blank lines.
