Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Tom Lynn (tlynn) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: str.startswith/endswith could take a tuple? Initial Comment: In the same way that exceptions can have a tuple of types specified and isinstance can take a tuple of types, str.startswith and endswith could take a tuple of possible prefixes/suffixes. One use-case:: if filename.endswith(('jpg', 'gif', 'png')): # ... vs: if (filename.endswith('jpg') or filename.endswith ('gif') or filename.endswith('png')): #... Obviously it's not a huge improvement in clarity, but it does seem to be an improvement to me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1491485&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
