>>> c = np.array(['aAaAaA', ' aA ', 'abBABba']) >>> c array(['aAaAaA', ' aA ', 'abBABba'], dtype='|S7')
The ‘a’ variable is unstripped from c[1] because whitespace leading.
>>> np.char.lstrip(c, 'a') array(['AaAaA', ' aA ', 'bBABba'], dtype='|S7')
>>> np.char.lstrip(c, 'A') # leaves c unchanged array(['aAaAaA', ' aA ', 'abBABba'], dtype='|S7') >>> (np.char.lstrip(c, ' ') == np.char.lstrip(c, '')).all() ... # XXX: is this a regression? this line now returns False ... # np.char.lstrip(c,'') does not modify c at all. True >>> (np.char.lstrip(c, ' ') == np.char.lstrip(c, None)).all() True
