New submission from Zach Hirsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I've found that having a way to strip a leading substring from a string
is convienent. I've also gotten bitten by the fact that str.strip takes
a sequence of characters to remove from the beginning -- not a full string.

Thanks for taking a look.
Yea, it's pretty easy to write it in Python, but I've found that I've
needed it in quite a few things that I've worked on, so I thought it
might be useful in Python itself.
I've updated

Sounds good to me, except for one thing: define "sensible".
To me, lstrips seems sensible, since it's a recurring pattern that I've
used in multiple locations. But perhaps my sens

Python-2.6+ installed "just for me" (i.e., without the VC90 runtime
installed globally).
Using the python-2.6.

Here's a patch against the head of trunk that adds vcproj files for
_curses and _curses_panel, modifies (slightly) the test suite and
_cursesmodule.c (again, slightly) to get Python to work with pdcurses on
windows. I also added a blurb to PCbuild\readm

I've hit this, too, and it's annoyed me. So here's a patch against trunk
that should fix it.
The idea is: whenever unicode_literals are turned on (or the -U command
line flag is passed), to convert r"\u" to "\u005c\u0075" an

OK, fixed.

I'm not sure if this is the same problem, but it seems related. I can
get the same ImportError without involving py2exe or modulefinder:
