Code Snippet

on file1.py:

def make_dot_string(x):
    """
    creates a string of spaces followed by a dot.
    @param x: the number of spaces before the dot.
    @return: a string with x spaces, then a dot.
    """
    rad = radians(x)
    c = abs(round(cos(rad), 2))
    if c == 0:
        return 0
    
    numspaces = int((9 * 1 / c - 9))
    return numspaces

On file2.py:

def home():
    
    numspaces_list = []
    for i in range(0, 1800, 3):
        numspaces_list.append(wave.make_dot_string(i))
    
    return numspaces_list

Repro Steps

1. Copy code from the function body on file1.py for example
2. Paste it right below def home(): on file2.py
3. Notice how the indentation gets messed up

Maybe it's something enabling format on paste would solve?

are you saying you copied things correctly but something interfered and messed up indentation? or you copied things incorrectly, so format was messed up? but you want us to fix that up?

[luabud]

the first one, things were copied correctly but when pasting it, the indentation was broken

[heejaechang]

so, you are saying the extra whitespace before """ below def home is added by something (pylance or something else) even if user didn't put that whitespace when they make the copy nor when they paste. something else automatically added that whitespace

asking since based on the answer, we need to look for different thing. if it is automatically added, we need to inspect things like auto formatter or other extensions who might have added that extra whitespace.

if user added that whitespace when copy or pasted the code after that whitespace accidently or not, then it is by design and we would need to look for enhancement. either we implement formatter ourselves, or talk with vscode whether they can add auto format on paste like they do auto format on save.
