Matthew Barnett <pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment: The documentation says of the 'pos' parameter "This is not completely equivalent to slicing the string" and of the 'endpos' parameter "it will be as if the string is endpos characters long".
In other words, it starts searching at 'pos' but truncates at 'endpos'. Yes, it's inconsistent, but it's documented. ---------- nosy: +mrabarnett _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13998> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
