what about an "__rcontains__" method? For glob patterns, those don't currently have an externally exposed 'compiled version' at all, and I assume if they ever gained one it would be a compiled regex (globs are translated to regex internally, and there is a private method called _compile_pattern which returns the compiled regex's .match method) _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/2FL6RVRJ3TQJ2IAWCARGQ3SREWFUKCHK/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
