[Python-Dev] Question regarding: Lib/_markupbase.py

[Developer Developer]

Sorry, I just thought that:

if '>' in rawdata[j:]

would do a search, that is, that the implementation of "in" would just reuse/call the implementation of "find" and that the position returned would be used as:
-1: not in
!= -1: in
which seemed to me like the easy implementation of "in". That's why I was wondering why to search twice.


Now I realize that it doesn't work the way I thought. Thank you for showing me and sorry for the confusion.

Best regards,
Guido (another Guido ;-) )

That said, the savings are still puny unless you spend your time
calling str.find().
