xonsh.lib.string

xonsh.lib.string.commonprefix(m: Iterable[str]) → str

Given an iterable of strings, returns the longest common leading substring

xonsh.lib.string.endswith_newline(s: str) → str

Return a string ending with exactly one newline character.

xonsh.lib.string.is_balanced(expr: str, ltok: str, rtok: str) → bool

Determines whether an expression has unbalanced opening and closing tokens.

xonsh.lib.string.subexpr_before_unbalanced(expr: str, ltok: str, rtok: str) → str

Obtains the expression prior to last unbalanced left token.

xonsh.lib.string.subexpr_from_unbalanced(expr: str, ltok: str, rtok: str) → str

Attempts to pull out a valid subexpression for unbalanced grouping, based on opening tokens, eg. ‘(’, and closing tokens, eg. ‘)’. This does not do full tokenization, but should be good enough for tab completion.
