+:star:**Newly added in Python `3.9`**
+
+Python `3.9` introduces two new string methods that make removing prefixes and suffixes much easier.
+
+[`<str>.removeprefix(<substring>)`](https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/stdtypes.html#str.removeprefix) return the string without the prefix (`string[len(<substring>):]`), if the `<substring>` isn't present it will return a copy of the original string.
+
+```python
+# removing a prefix
+>>> 'TestHook'.removeprefix('Test')
+'Hook'
+>>> 'bookkeeper'.removeprefix('book')
+'bookkeeper'
+```
+
+[`<str>.removesuffix(<substring>)`](https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/stdtypes.html#str.removesuffix) return the string without the suffix (`string[:-len(substring)]`), if the `<substring>` isn't present it will return a copy of the original string.
+
+```python
+# removing a suffix
+>>> 'TestHook'.removesuffix('Test')
+'Test'
+>>> 'bookkeeper'.removesuffix('keeper')

 [How to Unicode][howto unicode] in the Python docs offers great detail on Unicode, encoding, bytes, and other technical considerations for working with strings in Python.
