New submission from Steven D'Aprano: There has been some discussion on Python-Ideas about adding fnmatch.filter_false to complement filter, for when you want to ignore matching files rather than non-matching ones.
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2017-May/045694.html I don't believe there have been any strong objections, and work-arounds have a considerable performance penalty (according to the OP, I have not confirmed that). Here's a patch which refactors filter and adds filter_false. Sorry I haven't got my head around the brave new world on Github, so I'm going old school here with a diff :-) ---------- files: filterfalse.diff keywords: patch messages: 294029 nosy: steven.daprano priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add fnmatch.filter_false function type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46879/filterfalse.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30413> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
