This follows the example of str.startswith/str.endswith, but yes, it could be any iterable.
It could but currently cannot. The code checks for ``tuple`` literally:
pats = pat if isinstance(pat, tuple) else (pat,)

The test should be inverted - check for string, not for iterator/iterable:
pats = (pat,) if isinstance(pat, string) else pat # Assume ``pat`` is an iterable
Sorry, ``str``, not string. Oleg. -- Oleg Broytman https://phdru.name/ phd@phdru.name Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
