@Jelle Zijlstra, they did think about this in the pep; see here https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0616/#id26 The PEP authors suggested a kwarg of ``required`` which is certainly better. Maybe ``raise_exception`` would be even more explicit albeit verbose. It might be a useful feature; consider the following example:: dogs = ['mydog_spot', 'mydog_sally', 'jill'] new_dogs = [d.removeprefix('mydog_', required=True) for d in dogs] If there is support for this feature, I would like to work on it. Let me know what you think, and whether you think that ``required`` or ``raise_exception`` is a better name for the keyword argument. ---------- nosy: +jack__d _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44521> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
