Martin Panter added the comment: How about this for What’s New:
* The :meth:`str.startswith` and :meth:`str.endswith` methods no longer return ``True`` when finding the empty string and the indexes are completely out of range. See :issue:`24284`. Perhaps that is good enough, but if you wanted to be more precise, I think the actual condition is if the *start* index is beyond the end of the string, or *end* is before *start*. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24284> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
