Hello all! I'm a relatively new contributor looking for a Core Dev sponsor for the following PEP:
https://github.com/python/peps/pull/1332 Related: - Python-Ideas Thread: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-id...@python.org/thread/RJARZSUKCXRJIP42Z2YBBAEN5XA7KEC3/ - Bug Tracker Issue: https://bugs.python.org/issue39939 - Github PR for implementation: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/18939 Abstract ======== This is a proposal to add two new methods, ``cutprefix`` and ``cutsuffix``, to the APIs of Python's various string objects. In particular, the methods would be added to Unicode ``str`` objects, binary ``bytes`` and ``bytearray`` objects, and ``collections.UserString``. If ``s`` is one these objects, and ``s`` has ``pre`` as a prefix, then ``s.cutprefix(pre)`` returns a copy of ``s`` in which that prefix has been removed. If ``s`` does not have ``pre`` as a prefix, an unchanged copy of ``s`` is returned. In summary, ``s.cutprefix(pre)`` is roughly equivalent to ``s[len(pre):] if s.startswith(pre) else s``. The behavior of ``cutsuffix`` is analogous: ``s.cutsuffix(suf)`` is roughly equivalent to ``s[:-len(suf)] if suf and s.endswith(suf) else s``. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/XC3D3QGONENQ7PIAUM2SNNEP5BWA6Q4J/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
