Content
str.startswith and str.endswith should accept multiple arguments when passing in strings. This makes it easier to check if the first character of a string is one of a given option, versus this awkward construction: >>> f = 'abc' >>> 'test'.startswith(tuple(f)) False With my proposal, this could be shortened to 'test'.startswith(*f) for easy testing. This also makes it easier to check if a string begins with one of any combination of matches.
