Shouldn't they be the other way around? `strip` removes chars from a set of chars; the proposed method will remove a prefix/suffix. > And I'm perfectly okay with bytes() not having those methods. ;-) If heavy users of bytes want these methods, they can request them separately. There's no backwards compatibility requirement for new string methods to be automatically added to bytes. I guess the question now is do we need a PEP? -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/I2PNEQFRKMBZNOBB4BNXEAASFPQ4727F/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
