New submission from irdb: __getitem__ was added to match objects as a resolution of issue24454.
Wouldn't it be nice to also have `__contains__` and `get` methods for match objects? Is it even feasible to implement them in neat way? They should work similar to dictionaries, i.e: ``` match = re.match('(?P<a>a)', 'a') match.get('b') # should return None match.get(1) # should return 'a' 'a' in match # True 'b' in match # False ``` ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 287096 nosy: eric.smith, irdb, mrabarnett, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: `__contains__` and `get` methods for match objects? type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29459> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
