Reference: String processing

Quick-lookup pages. Short, dense, and designed to skim — the sort of thing you keep a tab open on while you're working with strings. If you're here to learn the topic for the first time, start with Learn instead.

Pages in this section

• String methods reference — every method on str, with what it returns and when to use it.
• String formatting reference — the f-string and format() mini-language: alignment, width, precision, and type codes.
• String constants reference — string.ascii_letters, string.digits, string.punctuation, and the rest of the module's named character sets.
