STINNER Victor added the comment: "This is, on some occasions, useful to know; for instance, when testing string performance, it's handy to be able to very quickly throw something down that, without scanning the contents of all the strings used, can identify the width spread."
When you test string performances, you can get manually the biggest code point using: max(map(ord, str)). Do you have an other use case? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17629> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
