Here's my implementation:
from unicodedata import name
from unicodedata import lookup as _lookup
from fnmatch import translate
from re import compile, I
_NAMES = None
def getnames():
global _NAMES
if _NAMES is None:
_NAMES = []
for i
Steven D'Aprano added the comment:
I love the idea, but dislike the proposed interface.
As a general rule of thumb, Guido dislikes "constant bool parameters", where
you pass a literal True or False to a parameter to a function to change its
behaviour. Obviously this is not a hard rule, there
New submission from Roman Inflianskas :
I propose to add partial_match: bool = False argument to unicodedata.lookup so
that the programmer could search Unicode symbols using partial_names.
