String methods

In addition to the format() method described earlier, string method calls provide higher-level text processing tools beyond string expressions. Table 9 lists available string method calls; in this table, S is any string object (technically, a 3.X str). String methods that modify text always return a new string and never modify the object in-place (strings are immutable).

For more details on methods in the table, see the functional area description sections ahead, or run a help(str.method) interactively. Hint: this list can vary across Python releases; to see yours, try:

sorted(x for x in dir(str) if not x.startswith('__'))

See also the re module in The re Pattern-Matching Module for pattern-based equivalents to some string type methods.
