The string module defines constants and variables for processing string objects. See also the
section Strings for a discussion of the string
template substitution and formatting tools Template and Formatter defined in this module.
As of Python 2.0, most functions in this module are also
available as methods of string objects, and method-based calls are preferred and are more efficient.
See the section Strings for more details and a list
of all available string methods not repeated here. Only items unique
to the string module are listed in
this section.
