all Python 3Strings (str)function

str.endswith

search

True if the string ends with the suffix (or one of a tuple of suffixes).

Syntax

s.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])

The argument must be a string or a tuple of strings — a list raises TypeError, which bites people who build their extension list dynamically (wrap it in tuple()). Matching is case-sensitive, so an uppercase extension will not match '.py'; lowercase the name first, or compare Path(...).suffix instead.

Examples

print('file.py'.endswith('.py'))            # → True
print('file.py'.endswith('.txt'))           # → False
print('file.py'.endswith(('.py', '.txt')))  # → True
