This is to further explain what I had in mind: """The meaning of this file is to show how the replace function can be enhanced""" # Today the replace api takes at most 3 arguments, old_string, new_string, and optional numbers_of_replacements # My wish is to update the replace to support a fourth optional **kwargs argument class Str(object): def __init__(self, s=''): self.original_str = s self.new_str = s # name replace2 is to not cause recursion of my function def replace2(self, *args, **kwargs): # Old api lives here ... if len(args) == 2: old_str, new_str = args # do the old stuff elif len(args) == 3: old_str, new_str, numbers_of_replacements = args #do the old stuff # new api begins if kwargs: for k, v in kwargs.items(): # this one relies on the old api from string object # str original function must differ self.new_str = self.new_str.replace(k, v) return self.new_str def __str__(self): return self.original_str s = Str('my string is not cool') replacement_dict = {'is': 'could', 'my': 'your', 'not': 'be', 'cool': 'awsome'} print(s) s2 = s.replace2(**replacement_dict) print(s, s2, sep='\n') If this is a really crappy though, I would like not to be made a fool out of. I only want to improve, and I'm not crtizing the old api. I just want a simplier life for everyone :) Paal lør. 26. mai 2018 kl. 02:21 skrev Raymond Hettinger <rep...@bugs.python.org >: > > Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment: > > > I would like an example added to the sub(pattern, function, > > string) examples. > > That seems like the most reasonable way to go. > > ---------- > nosy: +rhettinger > > _______________________________________ > Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> > <https://bugs.python.org/issue33647> > _______________________________________ > ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33647> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
