I have.  Going back over this thread the words from Terry Reedy make 
things perfectly clear that this is a *WINDOWS* problem, not a *PYTHON* 
one.  Chris Angelico also weighed in, but again he was simply ignored. 
Instead some completely irrelevant cobblers turned up from "Joseph 
McCarthy".

There is no double spacing because for the umpteenth time I've snipped 
the whole damn lot.

This is *NOT* a minor formatting issue, it's a big PITA that should be 
stopped at source.  It would be easier for this to happen if and only if 
people would stop defending the bug ridden crap tools that are being 
used to send the double spaced crap.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me Mozilla Thunderbird ?
My friends all use GG, I think that's absurd.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from the nerds,
So Lord, won't you buy me Mozilla Thunderbird ?

While he continues to talk crap here I will respond, as I will also 
complain about double spaced google crap until it stops.  I will further 
state again that I find his disgusting, unwarrented attacks on the PEP 
393 FSR indefensible, and are also an attack on the core developers 
who've taken the time to deliver a faster, (relatively) bug free and 
lower memory useage implementation of unicode for Python 3.3+.

Your opinion, obviously I disagree, these IMO are *NOT* minor issues, 
and they're also completely avoidable.  Stop the problems at source and 
there are no issues to complain about.  I've written no such thing, I 
simply point it out half a dozen times a day as the latest pile of crap 
turns up here.  Stop the problems at source and there are no issues to 
complain about.  Yes, that's there twice so nobody can miss it.
