I use both lstrip() and rstrip() in Bikeshed (a Python project): https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=lstrip&type=Code https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=rstrip&type=Code In particular, lstrip() is used when I'm separating a key and value; I don't want to mess with the value much at all, just pull off the whitespace at the start. rstrip() is used when I know I don't need to strip from the left side, because I'm just pulling off newlines or something, so might as well let the program avoid even trying. ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
