I was persuaded there was already a bug open with a patch adding bytes and bytearray in the sequence methods table, but I can’t find it.
I can't find it either, but this issue is different. I propose renaming "String Methods" to "String, bytes and bytearray methods" and str.capitalize() bytes.capitalize() bytearray.capitalize() Return a copy of the string with its first character capitalized and the rest lowercased. [Discuss Unicode vs bytes details.] BTW, the "For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent." part is probably out of date because bytes.capitalize() seems to pass non-ASCII bytes through:
bytes([ord('è')]).capitalize()[0] == ord('è') True
and for unicode strings the operation is *not* locale dependent. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10702> _______________________________________
