I recently posted a question and swiftly received two excellent answers. Based on those, I built my own function that is exactly what I was looking for, and that also takes into account another aspect of the question briefly mentioned in a parenthesis.
Now I'd like to share that function even though it is a very basic Python thing that the majority of this site would be more that able to write on their own. Anyway, I was thinking to add it as an edit in the question, but I'm concerned other users would find the question to be bloated since it's pretty lengthy in the first place. Therefore, I've also considered to add my suggestion as a separate answer, but I'm concerned that that would be considered disrespectful to the original answers, and also that it would be considered as a form of fishing for votes. Also, if the question already has received working solutions, why bother at all?
tl;dr
- Posted a question
- Got two excellent suggestions
- Built my own solution with some minor tweaks based on those suggestions
- Would like to share that solution.
My options are:
- Forget it
- Add my suggestion as an edit in the question itself
- Post it as a separate answer
What do you suggest?
