I've tried this in 2.5 - 3.2:
--> 'this is a test'.startswith('this')
True
--> 'this is a test'.startswith('this', None, None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__
method
The 3.2 docs say this:
str.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])
Return True if string starts with the prefix, otherwise return False.
prefix can also be a tuple of prefixes to look for. With optional start,
test string beginning at that position. With optional end, stop
comparing string at that position
str.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])
Return True if the string ends with the specified suffix, otherwise
return False. suffix can also be a tuple of suffixes to look for. With
optional start, test beginning at that position. With optional end, stop
comparing at that position.
Any reason this is not a bug?
