The provided correct example for stripping leading whitespace is a Python heredoc that does not run

[adamnovak]

The 1.1 spec gives this as a correct answer for stripping leading whitespace:

python <<CODE
  with open("/path/to/file") as fp:
    for line in fp:
      if not line.startswith('#'):
        print(line.strip())
CODE

wdl/SPEC.md

Lines 3648 to 3655 in 9c0b9cf

	```sh
	python <<CODE
	with open("/path/to/file") as fp:
	for line in fp:
	if not line.startswith('#'):
	print(line.strip())
	CODE
	```

But that Bash command will always fail. The Python script is indented by 2 spaces; Bash does not itself strip leading whitespace inside the heredoc. So Python will raise an IndentationError when parsing the script:

$ python <<CODE
  with open("/path/to/file") as fp:
    for line in fp:
      if not line.startswith('#'):
        print(line.strip())
CODE
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    with open("/path/to/file") as fp:
IndentationError: unexpected indent

The spec goes on to act as if this command can ever succeed, including by giving example output for the task containing it, which can never be obtained.
