Ohhh - that's nice. But no words of that in the library reference here: http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/stdtypes.html#sequence-types-str-bytes-bytearray-list-tuple-range
Still this fails: >>> a = (1,2,3,4) >>> print(a.startswith((1,2))) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'startswith' Still methods of this kind would have a better place in the sequence protocol. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
