center(S, width, fillchar=...)

Return S centered in a string of length width. Padding is done using the specified fill character (default is a space)

Returns: string

count(S, sub, start=..., end=...)

Return the number of non-overlapping occurrences of substring sub in string S[start:end]. Optional arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation.

Returns: int

decode(S, encoding=..., errors=...)

Decodes S using the codec registered for encoding. encoding defaults to the default encoding. errors may be given to set a different error handling scheme. Default is 'strict' meaning that encoding errors raise a UnicodeDecodeError. Other possible values are 'ignore' and 'replace' as well as any other name registered with codecs.register_error that is able to handle UnicodeDecodeErrors.

Returns: object

encode(S, encoding=..., errors=...)

Encodes S using the codec registered for encoding. encoding defaults to the default encoding. errors may be given to set a different error handling scheme. Default is 'strict' meaning that encoding errors raise a UnicodeEncodeError. Other possible values are 'ignore', 'replace' and 'xmlcharrefreplace' as well as any other name registered with codecs.register_error that is able to handle UnicodeEncodeErrors.

Returns: object

endswith(S, suffix, start=..., end=...)

Return True if S ends with the specified suffix, False otherwise. With optional start, test S beginning at that position. With optional end, stop comparing S at that position. suffix can also be a tuple of strings to try.

Returns: bool

expandtabs(S, tabsize=...)

Return a copy of S where all tab characters are expanded using spaces. If tabsize is not given, a tab size of 8 characters is assumed.

Returns: string

find(S, sub, start=... , end=...)

Return the lowest index in S where substring sub is found, such that sub is contained within S[start:end]. Optional arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation.

Return -1 on failure.

Returns: int

format(S, *args, **kwargs)

Return a formatted version of S, using substitutions from args and kwargs. The substitutions are identified by braces ('{' and '}').

Returns: string

istitle(S)

Return True if S is a titlecased string and there is at least one character in S, i.e. uppercase characters may only follow uncased characters and lowercase characters only cased ones. Return False otherwise.

Return S left-justified in a string of length width. Padding is done using the specified fill character (default is a space).

Returns: string

lstrip(S, chars=...)

Return a copy of the string S with leading whitespace removed. If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead. If chars is unicode, S will be converted to unicode before stripping

Returns: string or unicode

partition(S, sep)

Search for the separator sep in S, and return the part before it, the separator itself, and the part after it. If the separator is not found, return S and two empty strings.

Return -1 on failure.

Returns: int

rjust(S, width, fillchar=...)

Return S right-justified in a string of length width. Padding is done using the specified fill character (default is a space)

Returns: string

Returns: (head, sep, tail)

rsplit(S, sep=... , maxsplit=...)

Return a list of the words in the string S, using sep as the delimiter string, starting at the end of the string and working to the front. If maxsplit is given, at most maxsplit splits are done. If sep is not specified or is None, any whitespace string is a separator.

Returns: list of strings

rstrip(S, chars=...)

Return a copy of the string S with trailing whitespace removed. If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead. If chars is unicode, S will be converted to unicode before stripping

Returns: string or unicode

split(S, sep=... , maxsplit=...)

Return a list of the words in the string S, using sep as the delimiter string. If maxsplit is given, at most maxsplit splits are done. If sep is not specified or is None, any whitespace string is a separator and empty strings are removed from the result.

Returns: list of strings

splitlines(S, keepends=...)

Return a list of the lines in S, breaking at line boundaries. Line breaks are not included in the resulting list unless keepends is given and true.

Returns: list of strings

startswith(S, prefix, start=..., end=...)

Return True if S starts with the specified prefix, False otherwise. With optional start, test S beginning at that position. With optional end, stop comparing S at that position. prefix can also be a tuple of strings to try.

Returns: bool

strip(S, chars=...)

Return a copy of the string S with leading and trailing whitespace removed. If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead. If chars is unicode, S will be converted to unicode before stripping

title(S)

Return a titlecased version of S, i.e. words start with uppercase characters, all remaining cased characters have lowercase.

Returns: string

translate(S, table, deletechars=...)

Return a copy of the string S, where all characters occurring in the optional argument deletechars are removed, and the remaining characters have been mapped through the given translation table, which must be a string of length 256 or None. If the table argument is None, no translation is applied and the operation simply removes the characters in deletechars.

Returns: string

zfill(S, width)

Pad a numeric string S with zeros on the left, to fill a field of the specified width. The string S is never truncated.

Returns: string
