In what python release was this introduced..

[Moe A]

Hi,

i need to list dependencies for my package & was wondering in what
python release could you start making 'in <string>' calls with more
than one char..eg:

"JESUS" in bible

instead of

"J" in bible

Andrew Kuchling's pages are always a good source of this sort of
info, well worth reading as you would read the FAQ:

more new and improved sequence/iterators behaviour fun:

'x'.join({'foo': 'bar'})

'foo'

i actually ran into this when i was staring at code written
by a coworker and wondered how on earth it ever worked...
(it didn't, since it really meant to use a list and wanted
order to be preserved, but it misbehaved silently instead of
raising an exception).
