Back when we were starting python 3.x there was discussion or removing these from str and bytes, but it was decided that breaking existing code just wasn't worth it. You can imagine how rarely b"Some String".swapcase() is used. As I said, if we were designing the language from scratch today I doubt we would include swapcase, title, and capitalize, at least. I don't think using their existence as an argument to add more methods like them is very convincing. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40437> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
