.. _stringservices: *************** String Services *************** The modules described in this chapter provide a wide range of string manipulation operations. In addition, Python's built-in string classes support the sequence type methods described in the :ref:`typesseq` section, and also the string-specific methods described in the :ref:`string-methods` section. To output formatted strings use template strings or the ``%`` operator described in the :ref:`string-formatting` section. Also, see the :mod:`re` module for string functions based on regular expressions. .. toctree:: string.rst re.rst struct.rst difflib.rst stringio.rst textwrap.rst codecs.rst unicodedata.rst stringprep.rst fpformat.rst
