str attributes

[bearophileHUGS@lycos.com]

I don't know if this was already discussed. I think that maybe Python
2.5 can add some attributes to the str object:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> str.ascii_lette rs[/color][/color][/color]
'abcdefghijklmn opqrstuvwxyzABC DEFGHIJKLMNOPQR STUVWXYZ'[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> str.hexdigits[/color][/color][/color]
'0123456789abcd efABCDEF'
etc.

And maybe this too:
str.maketrans(f rom, to)

(I think string.capwords () isn't important enough to be added too).

Bye,

I agree. I hope good stuff from string module gets moved
It has been discussed, of course ;-)

go to http://groups.google.com and put

"string module" "str" group:comp.lang .python

in the seach slot.
