Congratulations, Dennis! Not 10 minutes ago I was writing code that could have used this functionality. And I got it wrong on my first attempt! I'm looking forward to it in 3.9. Eric On 4/20/2020 2:26 PM, Victor Stinner wrote:
Hi,
The Python Steering Council accepts the PEP 616 "String methods to remove prefixes and suffixes": https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0616/
Congrats Dennis Sweeney!
We just have one last request: we expect the documentation to explain well the difference between removeprefix()/removesuffix() and lstrip()/strip()/rstrip(), since it is the rationale of the PEP ;-)
You can find the WIP implementation at:
