Aldwin Pollefeyt <aldwinald...@gmail.com> added the comment:

* 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.
