Spotted this in the code:

    def _left_pad(text, indent="    "):
        """Maybe I can find a package in pypi for this?"""
        return "\n".join(indent + line for line in text.split('\n'))

You can use the textwrap module from the Python standard library for this:

    textwrap.indent('hello\nthis\n  is a demo', '    ')
    # '    hello\n    this\n      is a demo'
