Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I cannot say if this new set of function is desirable in python, but I know that I already needed this feature sometimes. It's very easy to write in python code, though:
def rstrips(s, suffix): if suffix and s.endswith(suffix): s = s[:-len(suffix)] return s About the patch: - there is a reference leak in string_strips: lstripped must be decref'd - this both-ends function seems less useful: prefixes are often different from suffixes. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4541> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
