[New-bugs-announce] [issue13857] Add textwrap.indent() as counterpart to textwrap.dedent()

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com>:

As far I am aware, the simplest way to indent a multi-line string is with the following snippet:

    '\n'.join((4 * ' ') + x for x in s.splitlines())

It would be a lot simpler and clearer if I could just write that as "textwrap.indent(s, 4 * ' ')".

(i.e. indent would accept a prefix string to be inserted before each line in the supplied string, as in the original comprehension)
