STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
The proposed change will affect many builtin types: bytes, bytearray, str, but also other types like collections.UserString. Would it make sense to summarize what has been said in the python-ideas thread into a PEP? It may good to specify things like: >>> x = "A"*10**6 >>> x.cutprefix("B") is x True The specification can be just "that's an implementation detail" or "CPython implementation specific" :-) I don't expect such PEP to be long nor controversial, but it may help to write it down. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39939> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
