Martin Panter added the comment: The behaviour for searching for empty strings in Python is inconsistent; see Issue 24243. IMO the behaviour for the (r)find/index methods is sensible, but it is worth making the documentation explicit.
The returned indexes you have given (5, 1, and 0) are valid for slicing. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31504> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
