Just checking whether 1) a PEP is the proper place for this and 2) what
y'all think about it.
I would like to propose a change to the the 're' standard library to
support iterables.
So, something like the following would work:
import re
text = """hello user
hello user
hello user"""
users = ["Bob", "Alice", "Jeffery"]
newtext = re.sub("user", users, text)
# newtext = "hello Bob\nhello Alice\nhello Jeffery"
There are a few corner cases I'm not sure what would be the best behavior.
Nor am I entirely certain this should be modified functionality or just...
a new function. What do y'all think?
