The use cases are too rare. recv_into() an HTTP request and .lower() it inplace to ease parsing? But I mostly raise that with MicroPython hat on, there it may be not necessarily superfluous. But then, having a separate module for such operations doesn't seem too bad, except that it would be retrograde action after "string" module deprecation in favor of methods. Anyway, I targetted that question for python-ideas on some easy day, and just took a quick chance here seeing someone else talking about inplace bytearray operations ;-). > > -- > --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmis...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
