Eric V. Smith added the comment: > One can also argue why python need to maintain str conversion at all if we > have such good extensions in different libs. Back when we were starting python 3.x there was discussion or removing these from str and bytes, but it was decided that breaking exist

[issue40437] add string.snake function

jeffolsi10 added the comment: Rémi Lapeyre not all of them. I can give list of many examples where snake case is needed. But the question is: Are we discussing if snake case is even needed or are we discussing if this should be in python core. Those are two totally different things. 1. The n

[issue40437] add string.snake function

Rémi Lapeyre added the comment: I don't understand the motivation, why would it be very useful when working with titles of columns that are to be used in databases columns? Databases can handle columns with spaces in their name: postgres=# create temporary table foo ("column with spaces" text

[issue40437] add string.snake function

jeffolsi10 added the comment: I feel this should be in core. I still don't understand why capitalize is supported and others do not. snake case is very well defined. Issues like tabs and spaces are not relevant. can you show example that you have that dilemma? To be honest I don't feel very s

jeffolsi10 added the comment: snake case has very specific definition : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_case I expect the function to implement the definition and not something that I or someone else desire. As for your question about '$' char I could ask the same thing for lower() The sn

[issue40437] add string.snake function

Eric V. Smith added the comment: What would be the full specification of this? If you want to use it for column names, what happens if the string starts with a $, or some character that can't be used by your particular database? I'm skeptical that this could be general purpose enough to be u
