I'm also thinking of a generic `str.split_indices(char)` that handles all characters like `str.split(char)`, though I can't find any good use cases for it, so I won't recommend it for now. `str.line_offsets()` does seem like a good idea to me though. _______________________________________________ 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/FQSJCFADMWJNPCI3KC7XUWGFKWGHSIXU/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
