Python command line: ignore indentation
In such case, I use following trick (prepend if 1:):
>>> if 1:... print 1...1
The ipython %cpaste function will allow you to paste indented code and work properly:
In [5]: %cpastePasting code; enter '--' alone on the line to stop or use Ctrl-D.: print "This is my function called with value 1.": print "Done.":^D<EOF>This is my function called with value 1.Done.
Can you just avoid copying the tabs?
Notepad++ and Visual Studio allow rectangular selection by holding Shift + Alt when selecting text.
Whatever editor you use probably allows that as well.
Yes, this doesn't answer your question as asked, but maybe it will solve your problem.
edit:
gvim allows rectangular selections that includes all line contents by Ctrl-l v Ctrl-q $ Shift-Down or Up arrow.Thanks to Joel for clarifying this.
