Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: To answer Mark, even though no longer nosy: In general, sequence methods .count, .index, and .__contains__ take sequence members and only members as arguments. Unicode sequences are exceptional because codepoints are not Python objects, so string subsequences must be used instead. Byte-like sequences are also exceptional in that both members and subsequences are accepted for these methods.
String-like sequence methods .split and .partition take subsequences as arguments. I think the doc should make this clearer. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue20047> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
