Python 3.13
str.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])Parameters
- suffixstr | tuple

Examples
Checking the end of a string
Python 3.13
print('hello'.endswith('lo'))True
Checking a file extension
Python 3.13
print('photo.png'.endswith(('.png', '.jpg')))True
Details
Pass several options as a tuple: a list raises TypeError. The check is case-sensitive, so "photo.PNG".endswith(".png") gives False; for file extensions, convert the name to lowercase first.
