I don't understand the logic for "subtract". That's not a thing for non-numbers. If you don't think "strip" is good, then I suggest "remove". Or one could also consider "without" since we're talking about something that removes /if present/ (making subtract even worse! Subtract doesn't stop at zero). So "without_prefix()". _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
