* text.startswith(prefix, start, end) seems the same as text[start:end].startswith(prefix) * text[start:end] with end>len(text) seems no issue, so also not an issue for startswith * text[8:12] in ('day', 'month', 'year') is not the same at all, rather: For x in ('day', 'month', 'year'): if text[8:12].startswith(x): return True Else: return False Maybe indeed could add to the documentation that 'text.startswith(prefix, start, end)' is the same as 'text[start:end].startswith(prefix)'? Although seemed obvious for me. ---------- nosy: +aldwinaldwin _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37490> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
