There were known, strong use cases for str.rindex(). The list.rindex() method was intentionally omitted. AFAICT no compelling use cases have arisen, so we should continue to leave it out. In general, we don't grow the core APIs unnecessarily. Thank you for the suggestion, but we should pass on this unless actual, real-world use cases arise often enough to warrant its inclusion. ---------- resolution: -> rejected stage: patch review -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36639> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
