For edge cases like that, something like `"thesis.doc.doc".removesuffix(".doc").removesuffix(".doc")` should suffice, no? It may not be the cleanest looking solution, but IMO, it's better than over-complicating the method for something that would be used rarely at best. On Mon, Mar 23, 2020 at 1:34 AM Stephen J.
