Ethan Furman added the comment: We can already do
--> some_string.starts_with(('innie','minnie', 'minie', 'moe')) Your proposal appears to be equivalent to: --> 'test'.startswith(('a', 'b', 'c')) How often do you check to see if a string starts with only a single character? -1 tuple() is the correct solution to this problem. ---------- nosy: +ethan.furman _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24047> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
