format(S, format_spec)

Return a formatted version of S as described by format_spec.

Returns: unicode
Overrides: object.__format__

getattribute(...)

x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name

Overrides: object.__getattribute__

getslice(x, i, j)
(Slicling operator)

x[i:j]

Use of negative indices is not supported.

hash(x)
(Hashing function)

hash(x)

Overrides: object.__hash__

new(T, S, ...)

Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides: object.__new__

repr(x)
(Representation operator)

repr(x)

Overrides: object.__repr__

sizeof(S)

size of object in memory, in bytes

Returns: size of S in memory, in bytes
Overrides: object.__sizeof__

str(x)
(Informal representation operator)

str(x)

Overrides: object.__str__

capitalize(S)

Return a capitalized version of S, i.e. make the first character have upper case and the rest lower case.

Returns: unicode

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

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

Returns: unicode

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

Return the number of non-overlapping occurrences of substring sub in Unicode 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: string or unicode

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 can handle UnicodeEncodeErrors.

Returns: string or unicode

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: unicode

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: unicode

istitle(S)

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

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

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

Returns: unicode

Returns: (head, sep, tail)

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

Return a list of the words in 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, 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 a str, it will be converted to unicode before stripping

Returns: unicode

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

Returns: 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.

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 a str, it will be converted to unicode before stripping

title(S)

Return a titlecased version of S, i.e. words start with title case characters, all remaining cased characters have lower case.

Returns: unicode

translate(S, table)

Return a copy of the string S, where all characters have been mapped through the given translation table, which must be a mapping of Unicode ordinals to Unicode ordinals, Unicode strings or None. Unmapped characters are left untouched. Characters mapped to None are deleted.

Returns: unicode

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: unicode
