[issue43015] Add str.replaceall?

Jan 24, 2021, 6:20 AM

Post #1 of 4 (18 views)

New submission from Nathaniel Manista <nathaniel@google.com>:

Chained str.replace calls can sometimes be pretty unattractive; what are the chances that we could have an str.replaceall method? Of type Callable[[Mapping[str, str]], str]?

Check out absl::StrReplaceAll (https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/blob/22771d471930ce88e1e75d0ca9dd8c65a7b0f895/absl/strings/str_replace.h#L73-L98) for a similarly useful function in C++.

Hi, the bug tracker is not the right place to propose to add a new method to the builtin str type. I suggest to propose it on the python-ideas list. I'm quite sure that it was proposed at least once, so please search in the archives.

Versions 3.6-3.9 are all in feature-freeze, so the earliest this could be added is version 3.10.
