Antoine Pitrou added the comment: It may be unexpected, but it's not a bug. From the documentation:
"""Return a copy of the string with trailing characters removed. The chars argument is a string specifying the set of characters to be removed. If omitted or None, the chars argument defaults to removing whitespace. **The chars argument is not a suffix; rather, all combinations of its values are stripped**.""" (emphasis mine) https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.rstrip (if you wonder why that is, think about e.g. the use case of stripping certain whitespace characters: s.rstrip(" \t")) ---------- nosy: +pitrou resolution: -> not a bug status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22774> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
