What about performance? I would expect a string method to perform better than a stdlib function. (no?) Especially if it's something that could be used commonly it seems like having that function be of higher performance would be a benefit? At least for me, when I do use this, it's often in places like logging where it could well be called a lot. Dan -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
