Re: Bug: ob-python mangles multiline :var values [9.3.6 (release_9.3.6-397-ga089600)]

[Jack Kamm <jackkamm@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Thanks for reporting. I've just fixed this issue in master (commit
6149b6cb6).

The problem was that ob-python adds tab indentation to the code body
before putting it inside a main() function, which adds spurious
indentation to multiline strings passed through :var.

I fixed the issue by moving variable assignment from the code body to
the code preamble, which is executed outside the main() function.

Best,
Jack
