Sorry one more time (it is early morning and I should drink a cup of coffee first before posting here). Of course it should be `tuple(sorted(('al', 'ical'), key=len, reverse=True))`, I hope it was obvious to everyone from the very beginning. with kind regards, -gdg вс, 31 мар. 2019 г. в 11:53, Kirill Balunov <kirillbalunov@gmail.com>:

There's a slight problem with that: what happens if more than one suffix matches? E.g. given:
"musical".lcut(('al', 'ical'))
should the suffix "al" be removed, leaving "music"? (First match wins.)
Or should the suffix "ical" be removed, leaving "mus"? (Longest match wins.)
I think you should choose "First match wins", because in this case you can make "Longest match wins" as `"musical".lcut(tuple(sorted(('al, 'ical'))))`. But if you choose "Longest match wins" there is no chance to achieve "First match wins" behaviour.

Sorry it should be `.rcut` instead of `.lcut` in `"musical".*rcut*(tuple(sorted(('al, 'ical'))))` at the first place. I will prefer names `.lstrip` and `.rstrip` instead of *cut versions.
