Trailing white spaces in multi line strings

[Konstantin Nikitin]

Binary package hint: pep8

I think that it is a wrong behaviour to script to check for trailing white spaces inside multi line string.

Ex.:
$ cat test.py
my_str = """Hello
   User!
"""

I have some white spaces after "User!", because I need it for my own purposes.
I don't thing that I should get warning

$ pep8 test.py
test.py:2:15: W291 trailing whitespace

Thanks

Hi,
  Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This does not feel like something that would Ubuntu would choose to diverge from upstream on (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8). If you want to see this fixed, your best bet is to send to the upstream mailing list and pursue it there. Then, ubuntu will pick it up through upstream releases.

Does this needs action of is it already fixed?

Upstream says "With pep8 1.5 you achieve it adding # noqa on the last line of the docstring." and 1.5 is in Wily.
