[Python-Dev] Re: PEP 616 -- String methods to remove prefixes and suffixes

Here's an updated version. Online: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0616/ Source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python/peps/master/pep-0616.rst Changes: - More complete Python implementation to match what the type checking in the C implementation would be - Clarified that returning ``self`` is an optimization - Added links to past discussions on Python-Ideas and Python-Dev - Specified ability to accept a tuple of strings - Shorter abstract section and fewer stdlib examples - Mentioned - Typo and formatting fixes I didn't change the name because it didn't seem like there was a strong consensus for an alternative yet. I liked the suggestions of ``dropprefix`` or ``removeprefix``. All the best, Dennis
