I am interested to hear what kind of problem this was, and what strings lacked to allow you to solve them. When you say they weren't sufficiently performant, do you mean they lacked functionality, or they had the functionality but are too slow? -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/GHQHPJHWR4EEOSEO6IDEFQSBOHYLLNSU/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
