I was surprised by the following behavior:
class MyStr(str):
def __getitem__(self, key):
if isinstance(key, slice) and key.start is key.stop is key.end:
return self
return type(self)(super().__getitem__(key))
my_foo = MyStr("foo")
MY_FOO = MyStr("FOO")
My_Foo = MyStr("Foo")
empty = MyStr("")
assert type(my_foo.casefold()) is str
assert type(MY_FOO.capitalize()) is str
assert type(my_foo.center(3)) is str
assert type(my_foo.expandtabs()) is str
assert type(my_foo.join(())) is str
assert type(my_foo.ljust(3)) is str
assert type(my_foo.lower()) is str
assert type(my_foo.lstrip()) is str
assert type(my_foo.replace("x", "y")) is str
assert type(my_foo.split()[0]) is str
assert type(my_foo.splitlines()[0]) is str
assert type(my_foo.strip()) is str
assert type(empty.swapcase()) is str
assert type(My_Foo.title()) is str
assert type(MY_FOO.upper()) is str
assert type(my_foo.zfill(3)) is str
assert type(my_foo.partition("z")[0]) is MyStr
assert type(my_foo.format()) is MyStr
I was under the impression that all of the ``str`` methods exclusively returned
base ``str`` objects. Is there any reason why those two are different, and is
there a reason that would apply to ``removeprefix`` and ``removesuffix`` as
well?
