New submission from Tito Bouzout: Hello!
I got a report that the character "\" was removed from a string using the following code > "\\server\path\to".strip(r'"\'<>') At first insight, looks like a bug, because I don't expect the use of the escape character at all. Then I noticed, that our mistake there is that the "strip" argument should be a "string" not a REGEXP. Kinda weird to read, and I've no idea if this is expected behaviour in Python, as I'm relatively very new. So just informing, Kind regards, -- Tito ---------- components: Regular Expressions messages: 216687 nosy: Tito.Bouzout, ezio.melotti, mrabarnett priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: A escape character is used when a REGEXP is an argument of "strip" string function type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21283> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
