Yes, I've sometimes wanted something like "the basename of all the graphic
files in that directory." But here's another example that is from my
actually current job:
I do machine-learning/data science for a living. As part of that, I
generate a bunch of models that try to make predictions from the same
dataset. So I name those models like:
dataset1.KNN_distance_n10.gz
dataset1.KNN_distance_n10_poly2_scaled.xz
dataset2.KNN_manhattan_n6.zip
dataset2.KNN_distance_n10_poly2_scaled.xz
dataset1.KNN_minkowski_n5.gz
dataset1.LinSVC_Poly3_Scaled.gz
dataset2.LogReg.bz2
dataset2.LogReg_Poly.gz
dataset1.NuSVC_poly2_scaled.gz
I would like to answer the question "What types of models have I tried
against the datasets?" Obviously, I *can* answer this question. But it
would be pleasant to answer it like this:
styles = {model.lstrip(('dataset1', 'dataset2'))
.rstrip(('gz', 'xz', 'zip', 'bz2))
for model in models}
That's something very close to code I actually have in production now.
