string
capitalize(S)
Return a copy of the string S with only its first character capitalized.
string
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)
int
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.
object
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.
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.
bool
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.
string
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.
int
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.
string
format(S, *args, **kwargs)
Return a formatted version of S, using substitutions from args and kwargs. The substitutions are identified by braces ('{' and '}').
int
index(S, sub, start=... , end=...)
Like S.find() but raise ValueError when the substring is not found.
bool
isalnum(S)
Return True if all characters in S are alphanumeric and there is at least one character in S, False otherwise.
bool
isalpha(S)
Return True if all characters in S are alphabetic and there is at least one character in S, False otherwise.
bool
isdigit(S)
Return True if all characters in S are digits and there is at least one character in S, False otherwise.
bool
islower(S)
Return True if all cased characters in S are lowercase and there is at least one cased character in S, False otherwise.
bool
isspace(S)
Return True if all characters in S are whitespace and there is at least one character in S, False otherwise.
bool
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.
bool
isupper(S)
Return True if all cased characters in S are uppercase and there is at least one cased character in S, False otherwise.
string
join(S, iterable)
Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in the iterable. The separator between elements is S.
string
ljust(S, width, fillchar=...)
Return S left-justified in a string of length width. Padding is done using the specified fill character (default is a space).
string
lower(S)
Return a copy of the string S converted to lowercase.
string or unicode
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
(head, sep, tail)
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.
string
replace(S, old, new, count=...)
Return a copy of string S with all occurrences of substring old replaced by new. If the optional argument count is given, only the first count occurrences are replaced.
int
rfind(S, sub, start=... , end=...)
Return the highest 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.
int
rindex(S, sub, start=... , end=...)
Like S.rfind() but raise ValueError when the substring is not found.
string
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)
(head, sep, tail)
rpartition(S, sep)
Search for the separator sep in S, starting at the end of S, and return the part before it, the separator itself, and the part after it. If the separator is not found, return two empty strings and S.
list of strings
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.
string or unicode
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
list of strings
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.
list of strings
splitlines(S, keepends=False)
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.
bool
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.
string or unicode
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
string
swapcase(S)
Return a copy of the string S with uppercase characters converted to lowercase and vice versa.
string
title(S)
Return a titlecased version of S, i.e. words start with uppercase characters, all remaining cased characters have lowercase.
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.
string
upper(S)
Return a copy of the string S converted to uppercase.
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.
