Glenn Linderman <v+pyt...@g.nevcal.com> added the comment: Thanks Stèphańe and Serhiy, I just discovered this strange behavior in 3.8, and wondered how my logic was wrong, until I pinpointed the inconsistent behaviour of str.replace with an empty first parameter and replace count of 1.
Glad to see it is fixed in 3.9. I guess for x.replace( a, b, c ) the workaround would be x.replace( a, b, c ) if a else x.replace( a, b ) At least for recent versions of Python 3. ---------- nosy: +v+python _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue28029> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
