Reiterating the Python 3.9 suggestion, what about:

  salt2 = salt.cutsuffix(('==', '='))
 
But if the API was there, I agree this would work, not sure what David is saying about needing to call twice. On the other hand, this example demonstrates well how a tuple is potentially confusing. What happens if you call `'abc=='.removesuffix(('=', '=='))`?

I assume that was the practical "how to do it now":

foobar.removesuffix('=').removesuffix('=')

would work right now in 3.9 (I think).
