str(object) -> string
Return a nice string representation of the object.
If the argument is a string, the return value is the same object.
__new__ = <built-in method __new__ of type object>
class StringType(__builtin__.object)
unicode(string [, encoding[, errors]]) -> object
Create a new Unicode object from the given encoded string.
encoding defaults to the current default string encoding and
errors, defining the error handling, to 'strict'.
Return the number of occurrences of substring sub in Unicode string
S[start:end]. Optional arguments start and end are
interpreted as in slice notation.
Return an encoded string version of S. Default encoding is the current
default string encoding. errors may be given to set a different error
handling scheme. Default is 'strict' meaning that encoding errors raise
a ValueError. Other possible values are 'ignore' and 'replace'.
Return 1 if S ends with the specified suffix, otherwise return 0. With
optional start, test S beginning at that position. With optional end, stop
comparing S at that position.
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 if S is a titlecased string, i.e. upper- and titlecase characters
may only follow uncased characters and lowercase characters only cased
ones. Return 0 otherwise.
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 a str, it will be converted to unicode before stripping
Return a copy of S with all occurrences of substring
old replaced by new. If the optional argument maxsplit is
given, only the first maxsplit occurrences are replaced.
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.
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
Return a list of the words in S, using sep as the
delimiter string. If maxsplit is given, at most maxsplit
splits are done. If sep is not specified, any whitespace string
is a separator.
Return 1 if S starts with the specified prefix, otherwise return 0. With
optional start, test S beginning at that position. With optional end, stop
comparing S at that position.
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
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 or None. Unmapped characters
are left untouched. Characters mapped to None are deleted.
