When a target is part of a mutable object (an attribute\nreference, subscription or slicing), the mutable object must\nultimately perform the assignment and decide about its validity, and\nmay raise an exception if the assignment is unacceptable. The rules\nobserved by various types and the exceptions raised are given with the\ndefinition of the object types (see section The standard type\nhierarchy).\n\nAssignment of an object to a target list is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target list is a single target: The object is assigned to\n that target.\n\n* If the target list is a comma-separated list of targets: The\n object must be an iterable with the same number of items as there\n are targets in the target list, and the items are assigned, from\n left to right, to the corresponding targets.\n\nAssignment of an object to a single target is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target is an identifier (name):\n\n * If the name does not occur in a "global" statement in the\n current code block: the name is bound to the object in the current\n local namespace.\n\n * Otherwise: the name is bound to the object in the current global\n namespace.\n\n The name is rebound if it was already bound. This may cause the\n reference count for the object previously bound to the name to reach\n zero, causing the object to be deallocated and its destructor (if it\n has one) to be called.\n\n* If the target is a target list enclosed in parentheses or in\n square brackets: The object must be an iterable with the same number\n of items as there are targets in the target list, and its items are\n assigned, from left to right, to the corresponding targets.\n\n* If the target is an attribute reference: The primary expression in\n the reference is evaluated. It should yield an object with\n assignable attributes; if this is not the case, "TypeError" is\n raised. That object is then asked to assign the assigned object to\n the given attribute; if it cannot perform the assignment, it raises\n an exception (usually but not necessarily "AttributeError").\n\n Note: If the object is a class instance and the attribute reference\n occurs on both sides of the assignment operator, the RHS expression,\n "a.x" can access either an instance attribute or (if no instance\n attribute exists) a class attribute. The LHS target "a.x" is always\n set as an instance attribute, creating it if necessary. Thus, the\n two occurrences of "a.x" do not necessarily refer to the same\n attribute: if the RHS expression refers to a class attribute, the\n LHS creates a new instance attribute as the target of the\n assignment:\n\n class Cls:\n x = 3 # class variable\n inst = Cls()\n inst.x = inst.x + 1 # writes inst.x as 4 leaving Cls.x as 3\n\n This description does not necessarily apply to descriptor\n attributes, such as properties created with "property()".\n\n* If the target is a subscription: The primary expression in the\n reference is evaluated. It should yield either a mutable sequence\n object (such as a list) or a mapping object (such as a dictionary).\n Next, the subscript expression is evaluated.\n\n If the primary is a mutable sequence object (such as a list), the\n subscript must yield a plain integer. If it is negative, the\n sequence\'s length is added to it. The resulting value must be a\n nonnegative integer less than the sequence\'s length, and the\n sequence is asked to assign the assigned object to its item with\n that index. If the index is out of range, "IndexError" is raised\n (assignment to a subscripted sequence cannot add new items to a\n list).\n\n If the primary is a mapping object (such as a dictionary), the\n subscript must have a type compatible with the mapping\'s key type,\n and the mapping is then asked to create a key/datum pair which maps\n the subscript to the assigned object. This can either replace an\n existing key/value pair with the same key value, or insert a new\n key/value pair (if no key with the same value existed).\n\n* If the target is a slicing: The primary expression in the\n reference is evaluated. It should yield a mutable sequence object\n (such as a list). The assigned object should be a sequence object\n of the same type. Next, the lower and upper bound expressions are\n evaluated, insofar they are present; defaults are zero and the\n sequence\'s length. The bounds should evaluate to (small) integers.\n If either bound is negative, the sequence\'s length is added to it.\n The resulting bounds are clipped to lie between zero and the\n sequence\'s length, inclusive. Finally, the sequence object is asked\n to replace the slice with the items of the assigned sequence. The\n length of the slice may be different from the length of the assigned\n sequence, thus changing the length of the target sequence, if the\n object allows it.\n\n**CPython implementation detail:** In the current implementation, the\nsyntax for targets is taken to be the same as for expressions, and\ninvalid syntax is rejected during the code generation phase, causing\nless detailed error messages.\n\nWARNING: Although the definition of assignment implies that overlaps\nbetween the left-hand side and the right-hand side are \'safe\' (for\nexample "a, b = b, a" swaps two variables), overlaps *within* the\ncollection of assigned-to variables are not safe! For instance, the\nfollowing program prints "[0, 2]":\n\n x = [0, 1]\n i = 0\n i, x[i] = 1, 2\n print x\n\n\nAugmented assignment statements\n===============================\n\nAugmented assignment is the combination, in a single statement, of a\nbinary operation and an assignment statement:\n\n augmented_assignment_stmt ::= augtarget augop (expression_list | yield_expression)\n augtarget ::= identifier | attributeref | subscription | slicing\n augop ::= "+=" | "-=" | "*=" | "/=" | "//=" | "%=" | "**="\n | ">>=" | "<<=" | "&=" | "^=" | "|="\n\n(See section Primaries for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike normal\nassignment statements, cannot be an unpacking) and the expression\nlist, performs the binary operation specific to the type of assignment\non the two operands, and assigns the result to the original target.\nThe target is only evaluated once.\n\nAn augmented assignment expression like "x += 1" can be rewritten as\n"x = x + 1" to achieve a similar, but not exactly equal effect. In the\naugmented version, "x" is only evaluated once. Also, when possible,\nthe actual operation is performed *in-place*, meaning that rather than\ncreating a new object and assigning that to the target, the old object\nis modified instead.\n\nWith the exception of assigning to tuples and multiple targets in a\nsingle statement, the assignment done by augmented assignment\nstatements is handled the same way as normal assignments. Similarly,\nwith the exception of the possible *in-place* behavior, the binary\noperation performed by augmented assignment is the same as the normal\nbinary operations.\n\nFor targets which are attribute references, the same caveat about\nclass and instance attributes applies as for regular assignments.\n',
5 'atom-identifiers': u'\nIdentifiers (Names)\n*******************\n\nAn identifier occurring as an atom is a name. See section Identifiers\nand keywords for lexical definition and section Naming and binding for\ndocumentation of naming and binding.\n\nWhen the name is bound to an object, evaluation of the atom yields\nthat object. When a name is not bound, an attempt to evaluate it\nraises a "NameError" exception.\n\n**Private name mangling:** When an identifier that textually occurs in\na class definition begins with two or more underscore characters and\ndoes not end in two or more underscores, it is considered a *private\nname* of that class. Private names are transformed to a longer form\nbefore code is generated for them. The transformation inserts the\nclass name, with leading underscores removed and a single underscore\ninserted, in front of the name. For example, the identifier "__spam"\noccurring in a class named "Ham" will be transformed to "_Ham__spam".\nThis transformation is independent of the syntactical context in which\nthe identifier is used. If the transformed name is extremely long\n(longer than 255 characters), implementation defined truncation may\nhappen. If the class name consists only of underscores, no\ntransformation is done.\n',
7 'attribute-access': u'\nCustomizing attribute access\n****************************\n\nThe following methods can be defined to customize the meaning of\nattribute access (use of, assignment to, or deletion of "x.name") for\nclass instances.\n\nobject.__getattr__(self, name)\n\n Called when an attribute lookup has not found the attribute in the\n usual places (i.e. it is not an instance attribute nor is it found\n in the class tree for "self"). "name" is the attribute name. This\n method should return the (computed) attribute value or raise an\n "AttributeError" exception.\n\n Note that if the attribute is found through the normal mechanism,\n "__getattr__()" is not called. (This is an intentional asymmetry\n between "__getattr__()" and "__setattr__()".) This is done both for\n efficiency reasons and because otherwise "__getattr__()" would have\n no way to access other attributes of the instance. Note that at\n least for instance variables, you can fake total control by not\n inserting any values in the instance attribute dictionary (but\n instead inserting them in another object). See the\n "__getattribute__()" method below for a way to actually get total\n control in new-style classes.\n\nobject.__setattr__(self, name, value)\n\n Called when an attribute assignment is attempted. This is called\n instead of the normal mechanism (i.e. store the value in the\n instance dictionary). *name* is the attribute name, *value* is the\n value to be assigned to it.\n\n If "__setattr__()" wants to assign to an instance attribute, it\n should not simply execute "self.name = value" --- this would cause\n a recursive call to itself. Instead, it should insert the value in\n the dictionary of instance attributes, e.g., "self.__dict__[name] =\n value". For new-style classes, rather than accessing the instance\n dictionary, it should call the base class method with the same\n name, for example, "object.__setattr__(self, name, value)".\n\nobject.__delattr__(self, name)\n\n Like "__setattr__()" but for attribute deletion instead of\n assignment. This should only be implemented if "del obj.name" is\n meaningful for the object.\n\n\nMore attribute access for new-style classes\n===========================================\n\nThe following methods only apply to new-style classes.\n\nobject.__getattribute__(self, name)\n\n Called unconditionally to implement attribute accesses for\n instances of the class. If the class also defines "__getattr__()",\n the latter will not be called unless "__getattribute__()" either\n calls it explicitly or raises an "AttributeError". This method\n should return the (computed) attribute value or raise an\n "AttributeError" exception. In order to avoid infinite recursion in\n this method, its implementation should always call the base class\n method with the same name to access any attributes it needs, for\n example, "object.__getattribute__(self, name)".\n\n Note: This method may still be bypassed when looking up special\n methods as the result of implicit invocation via language syntax\n or built-in functions. See Special method lookup for new-style\n classes.\n\n\nImplementing Descriptors\n========================\n\nThe following methods only apply when an instance of the class\ncontaining the method (a so-called *descriptor* class) appears in an\n*owner* class (the descriptor must be in either the owner\'s class\ndictionary or in the class dictionary for one of its parents). In the\nexamples below, "the attribute" refers to the attribute whose name is\nthe key of the property in the owner class\' "__dict__".\n\nobject.__get__(self, instance, owner)\n\n Called to get the attribute of the owner class (class attribute\n access) or of an instance of that class (instance attribute\n access). *owner* is always the owner class, while *instance* is the\n instance that the attribute was accessed through, or "None" when\n the attribute is accessed through the *owner*. This method should\n return the (computed) attribute value or raise an "AttributeError"\n exception.\n\nobject.__set__(self, instance, value)\n\n Called to set the attribute on an instance *instance* of the owner\n class to a new value, *value*.\n\nobject.__delete__(self, instance)\n\n Called to delete the attribute on an instance *instance* of the\n owner class.\n\n\nInvoking Descriptors\n====================\n\nIn general, a descriptor is an object attribute with "binding\nbehavior", one whose attribute access has been overridden by methods\nin the descriptor protocol: "__get__()", "__set__()", and\n"__delete__()". If any of those methods are defined for an object, it\nis said to be a descriptor.\n\nThe default behavior for attribute access is to get, set, or delete\nthe attribute from an object\'s dictionary. For instance, "a.x" has a\nlookup chain starting with "a.__dict__[\'x\']", then\n"type(a).__dict__[\'x\']", and continuing through the base classes of\n"type(a)" excluding metaclasses.\n\nHowever, if the looked-up value is an object defining one of the\ndescriptor methods, then Python may override the default behavior and\ninvoke the descriptor method instead. Where this occurs in the\nprecedence chain depends on which descriptor methods were defined and\nhow they were called. Note that descriptors are only invoked for new\nstyle objects or classes (ones that subclass "object()" or "type()").\n\nThe starting point for descriptor invocation is a binding, "a.x". How\nthe arguments are assembled depends on "a":\n\nDirect Call\n The simplest and least common call is when user code directly\n invokes a descriptor method: "x.__get__(a)".\n\nInstance Binding\n If binding to a new-style object instance, "a.x" is transformed\n into the call: "type(a).__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(a, type(a))".\n\nClass Binding\n If binding to a new-style class, "A.x" is transformed into the\n call: "A.__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(None, A)".\n\nSuper Binding\n If "a" is an instance of "super", then the binding "super(B,\n obj).m()" searches "obj.__class__.__mro__" for the base class "A"\n immediately preceding "B" and then invokes the descriptor with the\n call: "A.__dict__[\'m\'].__get__(obj, obj.__class__)".\n\nFor instance bindings, the precedence of descriptor invocation depends\non the which descriptor methods are defined. A descriptor can define\nany combination of "__get__()", "__set__()" and "__delete__()". If it\ndoes not define "__get__()", then accessing the attribute will return\nthe descriptor object itself unless there is a value in the object\'s\ninstance dictionary. If the descriptor defines "__set__()" and/or\n"__delete__()", it is a data descriptor; if it defines neither, it is\na non-data descriptor. Normally, data descriptors define both\n"__get__()" and "__set__()", while non-data descriptors have just the\n"__get__()" method. Data descriptors with "__set__()" and "__get__()"\ndefined always override a redefinition in an instance dictionary. In\ncontrast, non-data descriptors can be overridden by instances.\n\nPython methods (including "staticmethod()" and "classmethod()") are\nimplemented as non-data descriptors. Accordingly, instances can\nredefine and override methods. This allows individual instances to\nacquire behaviors that differ from other instances of the same class.\n\nThe "property()" function is implemented as a data descriptor.\nAccordingly, instances cannot override the behavior of a property.\n\n\n__slots__\n=========\n\nBy default, instances of both old and new-style classes have a\ndictionary for attribute storage. This wastes space for objects\nhaving very few instance variables. The space consumption can become\nacute when creating large numbers of instances.\n\nThe default can be overridden by defining *__slots__* in a new-style\nclass definition. The *__slots__* declaration takes a sequence of\ninstance variables and reserves just enough space in each instance to\nhold a value for each variable. Space is saved because *__dict__* is\nnot created for each instance.\n\n__slots__\n\n This class variable can be assigned a string, iterable, or sequence\n of strings with variable names used by instances. If defined in a\n new-style class, *__slots__* reserves space for the declared\n variables and prevents the automatic creation of *__dict__* and\n *__weakref__* for each instance.\n\n New in version 2.2.\n\nNotes on using *__slots__*\n\n* When inheriting from a class without *__slots__*, the *__dict__*\n attribute of that class will always be accessible, so a *__slots__*\n definition in the subclass is meaningless.\n\n* Without a *__dict__* variable, instances cannot be assigned new\n variables not listed in the *__slots__* definition. Attempts to\n assign to an unlisted variable name raises "AttributeError". If\n dynamic assignment of new variables is desired, then add\n "\'__dict__\'" to the sequence of strings in the *__slots__*\n declaration.\n\n Changed in version 2.3: Previously, adding "\'__dict__\'" to the\n *__slots__* declaration would not enable the assignment of new\n attributes not specifically listed in the sequence of instance\n variable names.\n\n* Without a *__weakref__* variable for each instance, classes\n defining *__slots__* do not support weak references to its\n instances. If weak reference support is needed, then add\n "\'__weakref__\'" to the sequence of strings in the *__slots__*\n declaration.\n\n Changed in version 2.3: Previously, adding "\'__weakref__\'" to the\n *__slots__* declaration would not enable support for weak\n references.\n\n* *__slots__* are implemented at the class level by creating\n descriptors (Implementing Descriptors) for each variable name. As a\n result, class attributes cannot be used to set default values for\n instance variables defined by *__slots__*; otherwise, the class\n attribute would overwrite the descriptor assignment.\n\n* The action of a *__slots__* declaration is limited to the class\n where it is defined. As a result, subclasses will have a *__dict__*\n unless they also define *__slots__* (which must only contain names\n of any *additional* slots).\n\n* If a class defines a slot also defined in a base class, the\n instance variable defined by the base class slot is inaccessible\n (except by retrieving its descriptor directly from the base class).\n This renders the meaning of the program undefined. In the future, a\n check may be added to prevent this.\n\n* Nonempty *__slots__* does not work for classes derived from\n "variable-length" built-in types such as "long", "str" and "tuple".\n\n* Any non-string iterable may be assigned to *__slots__*. Mappings\n may also be used; however, in the future, special meaning may be\n assigned to the values corresponding to each key.\n\n* *__class__* assignment works only if both classes have the same\n *__slots__*.\n\n Changed in version 2.6: Previously, *__class__* assignment raised an\n error if either new or old class had *__slots__*.\n',
9 'augassign': u'\nAugmented assignment statements\n*******************************\n\nAugmented assignment is the combination, in a single statement, of a\nbinary operation and an assignment statement:\n\n augmented_assignment_stmt ::= augtarget augop (expression_list | yield_expression)\n augtarget ::= identifier | attributeref | subscription | slicing\n augop ::= "+=" | "-=" | "*=" | "/=" | "//=" | "%=" | "**="\n | ">>=" | "<<=" | "&=" | "^=" | "|="\n\n(See section Primaries for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike normal\nassignment statements, cannot be an unpacking) and the expression\nlist, performs the binary operation specific to the type of assignment\non the two operands, and assigns the result to the original target.\nThe target is only evaluate

The *chars* argument is not a prefix; rather,\\n all combinations of its values are stripped:\\n\\n >>> \\' spacious \\'.lstrip()\\n \\'spacious \\'\\n >>> \\'www.example.com\\'.lstrip(\\'cmowz.\\')\\n \\'example.com\\'\\n\\n Changed in version 2.2.2: Support for the *chars* argument.\\n\\nstr.partition(sep)\\n\\n Split the string at the first occurrence of *sep*, and return a\\n 3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator\\n itself, and the part after the separator. If the separator is not\\n found, return a 3-tuple containing the string itself, followed by\\n two empty strings.\\n\\n New in version 2.5.\\n\\nstr.replace(old, new[, count])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring *old*\\n replaced by *new*. If the optional argument *count* is given, only\\n the first *count* occurrences are replaced.\\n\\nstr.rfind(sub[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Return the highest index in the string where substring *sub* is\\n found, such that *sub* is contained within "s[start:end]".\\n Optional arguments *start* and *end* are interpreted as in slice\\n notation. Return "-1" on failure.\\n\\nstr.rindex(sub[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Like "rfind()" but raises "ValueError" when the substring *sub* is\\n not found.\\n\\nstr.rjust(width[, fillchar])\\n\\n Return the string right justified in a string of length *width*.\\n Padding is done using the specified *fillchar* (default is a\\n space). The original string is returned if *width* is less than or\\n equal to "len(s)".\\n\\n Changed in version 2.4: Support for the *fillchar* argument.\\n\\nstr.rpartition(sep)\\n\\n Split the string at the last occurrence of *sep*, and return a\\n 3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator\\n itself, and the part after the separator. If the separator is not\\n found, return a 3-tuple containing two empty strings, followed by\\n the string itself.\\n\\n New in version 2.5.\\n\\nstr.rsplit([sep[, maxsplit]])\\n\\n Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* as the\\n delimiter string. If *maxsplit* is given, at most *maxsplit* splits\\n are done, the *rightmost* ones. If *sep* is not specified or\\n "None", any whitespace string is a separator. Except for splitting\\n from the right, "rsplit()" behaves like "split()" which is\\n described in detail below.\\n\\n New in version 2.4.\\n\\nstr.rstrip([chars])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with trailing characters removed. The\\n *chars* argument is a string specifying the set of characters to be\\n removed. If omitted or "None", the *chars* argument defaults to\\n removing whitespace. The *chars* argument is not a suffix; rather,\\n all combinations of its values are stripped:\\n\\n >>> \\' spacious \\'.rstrip()\\n \\' spacious\\'\\n >>> \\'mississippi\\'.rstrip(\\'ipz\\')\\n \\'mississ\\'\\n\\n Changed in version 2.2.2: Support for the *chars* argument.\\n\\nstr.split([sep[, maxsplit]])\\n\\n Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* as the\\n delimiter string. If *maxsplit* is given, at most *maxsplit*\\n splits are done (thus, the list will have at most "maxsplit+1"\\n elements). If *maxsplit* is not specified or "-1", then there is\\n no limit on the number of splits (all possible splits are made).\\n\\n If *sep* is given, consecutive delimiters are not grouped together\\n and are deemed to delimit empty strings (for example,\\n "\\'1,,2\\'.split(\\',\\')" returns "[\\'1\\', \\'\\', \\'2\\']"). The *sep* argument\\n may consist of multiple characters (for example,\\n "\\'1<>2<>3\\'.split(\\'<>\\')" returns "[\\'1\\', \\'2\\', \\'3\\']"). Splitting an\\n empty string with a specified separator returns "[\\'\\']".\\n\\n If *sep* is not specified or is "None", a different splitting\\n algorithm is applied: runs of consecutive whitespace are regarded\\n as a single separator, and the result will contain no empty strings\\n at the start or end if the string has leading or trailing\\n whitespace. Consequently, splitting an empty string or a string\\n consisting of just whitespace with a "None" separator returns "[]".\\n\\n For example, "\\' 1 2 3 \\'.split()" returns "[\\'1\\', \\'2\\', \\'3\\']", and\\n "\\' 1 2 3 \\'.split(None, 1)" returns "[\\'1\\', \\'2 3 \\']".\\n\\nstr.splitlines([keepends])\\n\\n Return a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line\\n boundaries. This method uses the *universal newlines* approach to\\n splitting lines. Line breaks are not included in the resulting list\\n unless *keepends* is given and true.\\n\\n For example, "\\'ab c\\\\n\\\\nde fg\\\\rkl\\\\r\\\\n\\'.splitlines()" returns "[\\'ab\\n c\\', \\'\\', \\'de fg\\', \\'kl\\']", while the same call with\\n "splitlines(True)" returns "[\\'ab c\\\\n\\', \\'\\\\n\\', \\'de fg\\\\r\\', \\'kl\\\\r\\\\n\\']".\\n\\n Unlike "split()" when a delimiter string *sep* is given, this\\n method returns an empty list for the empty string, and a terminal\\n line break does not result in an extra line.\\n\\nstr.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Return "True" if string starts with the *prefix*, otherwise return\\n "False". *prefix* can also be a tuple of prefixes to look for.\\n With optional *start*, test string beginning at that position.\\n With optional *end*, stop comparing string at that position.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.5: Accept tuples as *prefix*.\\n\\nstr.strip([chars])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with the leading and trailing\\n characters removed. The *chars* argument is a string specifying the\\n set of characters to be removed. If omitted or "None", the *chars*\\n argument defaults to removing whitespace. The *chars* argument is\\n not a prefix or suffix; rather, all combinations of its values are\\n stripped:\\n\\n >>> \\' spacious \\'.strip()\\n \\'spacious\\'\\n >>> \\'www.example.com\\'.strip(\\'cmowz.\\')\\n \\'example\\'\\n\\n Changed in version 2.2.2: Support for the *chars* argument.\\n\\nstr.swapcase()\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with uppercase characters converted to\\n lowercase and vice versa.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.title()\\n\\n Return a titlecased version of the string where words start with an\\n uppercase character and the remaining characters are lowercase.\\n\\n The algorithm uses a simple language-independent definition of a\\n word as groups of consecutive letters. The definition works in\\n many contexts but it means that apostrophes in contractions and\\n possessives form word boundaries, which may not be the desired\\n result:\\n\\n >>> "they\\'re bill\\'s friends from the UK".title()\\n "They\\'Re Bill\\'S Friends From The Uk"\\n\\n A workaround for apostrophes can be constructed using regular\\n expressions:\\n\\n >>> import re\\n >>> def titlecase(s):\\n ... return re.sub(r"[A-Za-z]+(\\'[A-Za-z]+)?",\\n ... lambda mo: mo.group(0)[0].upper() +\\n ... mo.group(0)[1:].lower(),\\n ... s)\\n ...\\n >>> titlecase("they\\'re bill\\'s friends.")\\n "They\\'re Bill\\'s Friends."\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.translate(table[, deletechars])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string where all characters occurring in the\\n optional argument *deletechars* are removed, and the remaining\\n characters have been mapped through the given translation table,\\n which must be a string of length 256.\\n\\n You can use the "maketrans()" helper function in the "string"\\n module to create a translation table. For string objects, set the\\n *table* argument to "None" for translations that only delete\\n characters:\\n\\n >>> \\'read this short text\\'.translate(None, \\'aeiou\\')\\n \\'rd ths shrt txt\\'\\n\\n New in version 2.6: Support for a "None" *table* argument.\\n\\n For Unicode objects, the "translate()" method does not accept the\\n optional *deletechars* argument. Instead, it returns a copy of the\\n *s* where all characters have been mapped through the given\\n translation table which must be a mapping of Unicode ordinals to\\n Unicode ordinals, Unicode strings or "None". Unmapped characters\\n are left untouched. Characters mapped to "None" are deleted. Note,\\n a more flexible approach is to create a custom character mapping\\n codec using the "codecs" module (see "encodings.cp1251" for an\\n example).\\n\\nstr.upper()\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with all the cased characters [4]\\n converted to uppercase. Note that "str.upper().isupper()" might be\\n "False" if "s" contains uncased characters or if the Unicode\\n category of the resulting character(s) is not "Lu" (Letter,\\n uppercase), but e.g. "Lt" (Letter, titlecase).\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.zfill(width)\\n\\n Return the numeric string left filled with zeros in a string of\\n length *width*. A sign prefix is handled correctly. The original\\n string is returned if *width* is less than or equal to "len(s)".\\n\\n New in version 2.2.2.\\n\\nThe following methods are present only on unicode objects:\\n\\nunicode.isnumeric()\\n\\n Return "True" if there are only numeric characters in S, "False"\\n otherwise. Numeric characters include digit characters, and all\\n characters that have the Unicode numeric value property, e.g.\\n U+2155, VULGAR FRACTION ONE FIFTH.\\n\\nunicode.isdecimal()\\n\\n Return "True" if there are only decimal characters in S, "False"\\n otherwise.

75 'typesseq': u'\\nSequence Types --- "str", "unicode", "list", "tuple", "bytearray", "buffer", "xrange"\\n*************************************************************************************\\n\\nThere are seven sequence types: strings, Unicode strings, lists,\\ntuples, bytearrays, buffers, and xrange objects.\\n\\nFor other containers see the built in "dict" and "set" classes, and\\nthe "collections" module.\\n\\nString literals are written in single or double quotes: "\\'xyzzy\\'",\\n""frobozz"". See String literals for more about string literals.\\nUnicode strings are much like strings, but are specified in the syntax\\nusing a preceding "\\'u\\'" character: "u\\'abc\\'", "u"def"". In addition to\\nthe functionality described here, there are also string-specific\\nmethods described in the String Methods section. Lists are constructed\\nwith square brackets, separating items with commas: "[a, b, c]".\\nTuples are constructed by the comma operator (not within square\\nbrackets), with or without enclosing parentheses, but an empty tuple\\nmust have the enclosing parentheses, such as "a, b, c" or "()". A\\nsingle item tuple must have a trailing comma, such as "(d,)".\\n\\nBytearray objects are created with the built-in function\\n"bytearray()".\\n\\nBuffer objects are not directly supported by Python syntax, but can be\\ncreated by calling the built-in function "buffer()". They don\\'t\\nsupport concatenation or repetition.\\n\\nObjects of type xrange are similar to buffers in that there is no\\nspecific syntax to create them, but they are created using the\\n"xrange()" function. They don\\'t support slicing, concatenation or\\nrepetition, and using "in", "not in", "min()" or "max()" on them is\\ninefficient.\\n\\nMost sequence types support the following operations. The "in" and\\n"not in" operations have the same priorities as the comparison\\noperations. The "+" and "*" operations have the same priority as the\\ncorresponding numeric operations. [3] Additional methods are provided\\nfor Mutable Sequence Types.\\n\\nThis table lists the sequence operations sorted in ascending priority.\\nIn the table, *s* and *t* are sequences of the same type; *n*, *i* and\\n*j* are integers:\\n\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| Operation | Result | Notes |\\n+====================+==================================+============+\\n| "x in s" | "True" if an item of *s* is | (1) |\\n| | equal to *x*, else "False" | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "x not in s" | "False" if an item of *s* is | (1) |\\n| | equal to *x*, else "True" | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "s + t" | the concatenation of *s* and *t* | (6) |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "s * n, n * s" | *n* shallow copies of *s* | (2) |\\n| | concatenated | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "s[i]" | *i*th item of *s*, origin 0 | (3) |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "s[i:j]" | slice of *s* from *i* to *j* | (3)(4) |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "s[i:j:k]" | slice of *s* from *i* to *j* | (3)(5) |\\n| | with step *k* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "len(s)" | length of *s* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "min(s)" | smallest item of *s* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "max(s)" | largest item of *s* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "s.index(x)" | index of the first occurrence of | |\\n| | *x* in *s* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| "s.count(x)" | total number of occurrences of | |\\n| | *x* in *s* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n\\nSequence types also support comparisons. In particular, tuples and\\nlists are compared lexicographically by comparing corresponding\\nelements. This means that to compare equal, every element must compare\\nequal and the two sequences must be of the same type and have the same\\nlength. (For full details see Comparisons in the language reference.)\\n\\nNotes:\\n\\n1. When *s* is a string or Unicode string object the "in" and "not\\n in" operations act like a substring test. In Python versions\\n before 2.3, *x* had to be a string of length 1. In Python 2.3 and\\n beyond, *x* may be a string of any length.\\n\\n2. Values of *n* less than "0" are treated as "0" (which yields an\\n empty sequence of the same type as *s*). Note also that the copies\\n are shallow; nested structures are not copied. This often haunts\\n new Python programmers; consider:\\n\\n >>> lists = [[]] * 3\\n >>> lists\\n [[], [], []]\\n >>> lists[0].append(3)\\n >>> lists\\n [[3], [3], [3]]\\n\\n What has happened is that "[[]]" is a one-element list containing\\n an empty list, so all three elements of "[[]] * 3" are (pointers\\n to) this single empty list. Modifying any of the elements of\\n "lists" modifies this single list. You can create a list of\\n different lists this way:\\n\\n >>> lists = [[] for i in range(3)]\\n >>> lists[0].append(3)\\n >>> lists[1].append(5)\\n >>> lists[2].append(7)\\n >>> lists\\n [[3], [5], [7]]\\n\\n3. If *i* or *j* is negative, the index is relative to the end of\\n the string: "len(s) + i" or "len(s) + j" is substituted. But note\\n that "-0" is still "0".\\n\\n4. The slice of *s* from *i* to *j* is defined as the sequence of\\n items with index *k* such that "i <= k < j". If *i* or *j* is\\n greater than "len(s)", use "len(s)". If *i* is omitted or "None",\\n use "0". If *j* is omitted or "None", use "len(s)". If *i* is\\n greater than or equal to *j*, the slice is empty.\\n\\n5. The slice of *s* from *i* to *j* with step *k* is defined as the\\n sequence of items with index "x = i + n*k" such that "0 <= n <\\n (j-i)/k". In other words, the indices are "i", "i+k", "i+2*k",\\n "i+3*k" and so on, stopping when *j* is reached (but never\\n including *j*). If *i* or *j* is greater than "len(s)", use\\n "len(s)". If *i* or *j* are omitted or "None", they become "end"\\n values (which end depends on the sign of *k*). Note, *k* cannot be\\n zero. If *k* is "None", it is treated like "1".\\n\\n6. **CPython implementation detail:** If *s* and *t* are both\\n strings, some Python implementations such as CPython can usually\\n perform an in-place optimization for assignments of the form "s = s\\n + t" or "s += t". When applicable, this optimization makes\\n quadratic run-time much less likely. This optimization is both\\n version and implementation dependent. For performance sensitive\\n code, it is preferable to use the "str.join()" method which assures\\n consistent linear concatenation performance across versions and\\n implementations.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.4: Formerly, string concatenation never\\n occurred in-place.\\n\\n\\nString Methods\\n==============\\n\\nBelow are listed the string methods which both 8-bit strings and\\nUnicode objects support. Some of them are also available on\\n"bytearray" objects.\\n\\nIn addition, Python\\'s strings support the sequence type methods\\ndescribed in the Sequence Types --- str, unicode, list, tuple,\\nbytearray, buffer, xrange section. To output formatted strings use\\ntemplate strings or the "%" operator described in the String\\nFormatting Operations section. Also, see the "re" module for string\\nfunctions based on regular expressions.\\n\\nstr.capitalize()\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with its first character capitalized\\n and the rest lowercased.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.center(width[, fillchar])\\n\\n Return centered in a string of length *width*. Padding is done\\n using the specified *fillchar* (default is a space).\\n\\n Changed in version 2.4: Support for the *fillchar* argument.\\n\\nstr.count(sub[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Return the number of non-overlapping occurrences of substring *sub*\\n in the range [*start*, *end*]. Optional arguments *start* and\\n *end* are interpreted as in slice notation.\\n\\nstr.decode([encoding[, errors]])\\n\\n Decodes the string using the codec registered for *encoding*.\\n *encoding* defaults to the default string encoding. *errors* may\\n be given to set a different error handling scheme. The default is\\n "\\'strict\\'", meaning that encoding errors raise "UnicodeError".\\n Other possible values are "\\'ignore\\'", "\\'replace\\'" and any other\\n name registered via "codecs.register_error()", see section Codec\\n Base Classes.\\n\\n New in version 2.2.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.3: Support for other error handling schemes\\n added.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.7: Support for keyword arguments added.\\n\\nstr.encode([encoding[, errors]])\\n\\n Return an encoded version of the string. Default encoding is the\\n current default string encoding. *errors* may be given to set a\\n different error handling scheme. The default for *errors* is\\n "\\'strict\\'", meaning that encoding errors raise a "UnicodeError".\\n Other possible values are "\\'ignore\\'", "\\'replace\\'",\\n "\\'xmlcharrefreplace\\'", "\\'backslashreplace\\'" and any other name\\n registered via "codecs.register_error()", see section Codec Base\\n Classes. For a list of possible encodings, see section Standard\\n Encodings.\\n\\n New in version 2.0.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.3: Support for "\\'xmlcharrefreplace\\'" and\\n "\\'backslashreplace\\'" and other error handling schemes added.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.7: Support for keyword arguments added.\\n\\nstr.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Return "True" if the string ends with the specified *suffix*,\\n otherwise return "False". *suffix* can also be a tuple of suffixes\\n to look for. With optional *start*, test beginning at that\\n position. With optional *end*, stop comparing at that position.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.5: Accept tuples as *suffix*.\\n\\nstr.expandtabs([tabsize])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string where all tab characters are replaced\\n by one or more spaces, depending on the current column and the\\n given tab size. Tab positions occur every *tabsize* characters\\n (default is 8, giving tab positions at columns 0, 8, 16 and so on).\\n To expand the string, the current column is set to zero and the\\n string is examined character by character. If the character is a\\n tab ("\\\\t"), one or more space characters are inserted in the result\\n until the current column is equal to the next tab position. (The\\n tab character itself is not copied.) If the character is a newline\\n ("\\\\n") or return ("\\\\r"), it is copied and the current column is\\n reset to zero. Any other character is copied unchanged and the\\n current column is incremented by one regardless of how the\\n character is represented when printed.\\n\\n >>> \\'01\\\\t012\\\\t0123\\\\t01234\\'.expandtabs()\\n \\'01 012 0123 01234\\'\\n >>> \\'01\\\\t012\\\\t0123\\\\t01234\\'.expandtabs(4)\\n \\'01 012 0123 01234\\'\\n\\nstr.find(sub[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Return the lowest index in the string where substring *sub* is\\n found, such that *sub* is contained in the slice "s[start:end]".\\n Optional arguments *start* and *end* are interpreted as in slice\\n notation. Return "-1" if *sub* is not found.\\n\\n Note: The "find()" method should be used only if you need to know\\n the position of *sub*. To check if *sub* is a substring or not,\\n use the "in" operator:\\n\\n >>> \\'Py\\' in \\'Python\\'\\n True\\n\\nstr.format(*args, **kwargs)\\n\\n Perform a string formatting operation. The string on which this\\n method is called can contain literal text or replacement fields\\n delimited by braces "{}".

The *sep* argument\\n may consist of multiple characters (for example,\\n "\\'1<>2<>3\\'.split(\\'<>\\')" returns "[\\'1\\', \\'2\\', \\'3\\']"). Splitting an\\n empty string with a specified separator returns "[\\'\\']".\\n\\n If *sep* is not specified or is "None", a different splitting\\n algorithm is applied: runs of consecutive whitespace are regarded\\n as a single separator, and the result will contain no empty strings\\n at the start or end if the string has leading or trailing\\n whitespace. Consequently, splitting an empty string or a string\\n consisting of just whitespace with a "None" separator returns "[]".\\n\\n For example, "\\' 1 2 3 \\'.split()" returns "[\\'1\\', \\'2\\', \\'3\\']", and\\n "\\' 1 2 3 \\'.split(None, 1)" returns "[\\'1\\', \\'2 3 \\']".\\n\\nstr.splitlines([keepends])\\n\\n Return a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line\\n boundaries. This method uses the *universal newlines* approach to\\n splitting lines. Line breaks are not included in the resulting list\\n unless *keepends* is given and true.\\n\\n For example, "\\'ab c\\\\n\\\\nde fg\\\\rkl\\\\r\\\\n\\'.splitlines()" returns "[\\'ab\\n c\\', \\'\\', \\'de fg\\', \\'kl\\']", while the same call with\\n "splitlines(True)" returns "[\\'ab c\\\\n\\', \\'\\\\n\\', \\'de fg\\\\r\\', \\'kl\\\\r\\\\n\\']".\\n\\n Unlike "split()" when a delimiter string *sep* is given, this\\n method returns an empty list for the empty string, and a terminal\\n line break does not result in an extra line.\\n\\nstr.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Return "True" if string starts with the *prefix*, otherwise return\\n "False". *prefix* can also be a tuple of prefixes to look for.\\n With optional *start*, test string beginning at that position.\\n With optional *end*, stop comparing string at that position.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.5: Accept tuples as *prefix*.\\n\\nstr.strip([chars])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with the leading and trailing\\n characters removed. The *chars* argument is a string specifying the\\n set of characters to be removed. If omitted or "None", the *chars*\\n argument defaults to removing whitespace. The *chars* argument is\\n not a prefix or suffix; rather, all combinations of its values are\\n stripped:\\n\\n >>> \\' spacious \\'.strip()\\n \\'spacious\\'\\n >>> \\'www.example.com\\'.strip(\\'cmowz.\\')\\n \\'example\\'\\n\\n Changed in version 2.2.2: Support for the *chars* argument.\\n\\nstr.swapcase()\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with uppercase characters converted to\\n lowercase and vice versa.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.title()\\n\\n Return a titlecased version of the string where words start with an\\n uppercase character and the remaining characters are lowercase.\\n\\n The algorithm uses a simple language-independent definition of a\\n word as groups of consecutive letters. The definition works in\\n many contexts but it means that apostrophes in contractions and\\n possessives form word boundaries, which may not be the desired\\n result:\\n\\n >>> "they\\'re bill\\'s friends from the UK".title()\\n "They\\'Re Bill\\'S Friends From The Uk"\\n\\n A workaround for apostrophes can be constructed using regular\\n expressions:\\n\\n >>> import re\\n >>> def titlecase(s):\\n ... return re.sub(r"[A-Za-z]+(\\'[A-Za-z]+)?",\\n ... lambda mo: mo.group(0)[0].upper() +\\n ... mo.group(0)[1:].lower(),\\n ... s)\\n ...\\n >>> titlecase("they\\'re bill\\'s friends.")\\n "They\\'re Bill\\'s Friends."\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.translate(table[, deletechars])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string where all characters occurring in the\\n optional argument *deletechars* are removed, and the remaining\\n characters have been mapped through the given translation table,\\n which must be a string of length 256.\\n\\n You can use the "maketrans()" helper function in the "string"\\n module to create a translation table. For string objects, set the\\n *table* argument to "None" for translations that only delete\\n characters:\\n\\n >>> \\'read this short text\\'.translate(None, \\'aeiou\\')\\n \\'rd ths shrt txt\\'\\n\\n New in version 2.6: Support for a "None" *table* argument.\\n\\n For Unicode objects, the "translate()" method does not accept the\\n optional *deletechars* argument. Instead, it returns a copy of the\\n *s* where all characters have been mapped through the given\\n translation table which must be a mapping of Unicode ordinals to\\n Unicode ordinals, Unicode strings or "None". Unmapped characters\\n are left untouched. Characters mapped to "None" are deleted. Note,\\n a more flexible approach is to create a custom character mapping\\n codec using the "codecs" module (see "encodings.cp1251" for an\\n example).\\n\\nstr.upper()\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with all the cased characters [4]\\n converted to uppercase. Note that "str.upper().isupper()" might be\\n "False" if "s" contains uncased characters or if the Unicode\\n category of the resulting character(s) is not "Lu" (Letter,\\n uppercase), but e.g. "Lt" (Letter, titlecase).\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.zfill(width)\\n\\n Return the numeric string left filled with zeros in a string of\\n length *width*. A sign prefix is handled correctly. The original\\n string is returned if *width* is less than or equal to "len(s)".\\n\\n New in version 2.2.2.\\n\\nThe following methods are present only on unicode objects:\\n\\nunicode.isnumeric()\\n\\n Return "True" if there are only numeric characters in S, "False"\\n otherwise. Numeric characters include digit characters, and all\\n characters that have the Unicode numeric value property, e.g.\\n U+2155, VULGAR FRACTION ONE FIFTH.\\n\\nunicode.isdecimal()\\n\\n Return "True" if there are only decimal characters in S, "False"\\n otherwise. Decimal characters include digit characters, and all\\n characters that can be used to form decimal-radix numbers, e.g.\\n U+0660, ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ZERO.\\n\\n\\nString Formatting Operations\\n============================\\n\\nString and Unicode objects have one unique built-in operation: the "%"\\noperator (modulo). This is also known as the string *formatting* or\\n*interpolation* operator. Given "format % values" (where *format* is\\na string or Unicode object), "%" conversion specifications in *format*\\nare replaced with zero or more elements of *values*. The effect is\\nsimilar to the using "sprintf()" in the C language. If *format* is a\\nUnicode object, or if any of the objects being converted using the\\n"%s" conversion are Unicode objects, the result will also be a Unicode\\nobject.\\n\\nIf *format* requires a single argument, *values* may be a single non-\\ntuple object. [5] Otherwise, *values* must be a tuple with exactly\\nthe number of items specified by the format string, or a single\\nmapping object (for example, a dictionary).\\n\\nA conversion specifier contains two or more characters and has the\\nfollowing components, which must occur in this order:\\n\\n1. The "\\'%\\'" character, which marks the start of the specifier.\\n\\n2. Mapping key (optional), consisting of a parenthesised sequence\\n of characters (for example, "(somename)").\\n\\n3. Conversion flags (optional), which affect the result of some\\n conversion types.\\n\\n4. Minimum field width (optional). If specified as an "\\'*\\'"\\n (asterisk), the actual width is read from the next element of the\\n tuple in *values*, and the object to convert comes after the\\n minimum field width and optional precision.\\n\\n5. Precision (optional), given as a "\\'.\\'" (dot) followed by the\\n precision. If specified as "\\'*\\'" (an asterisk), the actual width\\n is read from the next element of the tuple in *values*, and the\\n value to convert comes after the precision.\\n\\n6. Length modifier (optional).\\n\\n7. Conversion type.\\n\\nWhen the right argument is a dictionary (or other mapping type), then\\nthe formats in the string *must* include a parenthesised mapping key\\ninto that dictionary inserted immediately after the "\\'%\\'" character.\\nThe mapping key selects the value to be formatted from the mapping.\\nFor example:\\n\\n>>> print \\'%(language)s has %(number)03d quote types.\\' % \\\\\\n... {"language": "Python", "number": 2}\\nPython has 002 quote types.\\n\\nIn this case no "*" specifiers may occur in a format (since they\\nrequire a sequential parameter list).\\n\\nThe conversion flag characters are:\\n\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n| Flag | Meaning |\\n+===========+=======================================================================+\\n| "\\'#\\'" | The value conversion will use the "alternate form" (where defined |\\n| | below). |\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n| "\\'0\\'" | The conversion will be zero padded for numeric values. |\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n| "\\'-\\'" | The converted value is left adjusted (overrides the "\\'0\\'" conversion |\\n| | if both are given). |\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n| "\\' \\'" | (a space) A blank should be left before a positive number (or empty |\\n| | string) produced by a signed conversion. |\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n| "\\'+\\'" | A sign character ("\\'+\\'" or "\\'-\\'") will precede the conversion |\\n| | (overrides a "space" flag). |\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n\\nA length modifier ("h", "l", or "L") may be present, but is ignored as\\nit is not necessary for Python -- so e.g. "%ld" is identical to "%d".\\n\\nThe conversion types are:\\n\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| Conversion | Meaning | Notes |\\n+==============+=======================================================+=========+\\n| "\\'d\\'" | Signed integer decimal. | |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| "\\'i\\'" | Signed integer decimal. | |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| "\\'o\\'" | Signed octal value. | (1) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| "\\'u\\'" | Obsolete type -- it is identical to "\\'d\\'". | (7) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| "\\'x\\'" | Signed hexadecimal (lowercase). | (2) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| "\\'X\\'" | Signed hexadecimal (uppercase). | (2) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| "\\'e\\'" | Floating point exponential format (lowercase). | (3) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| "\\'E\\'" | Floating point exponential format (uppercase). | (3) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| "\\'f\\'" | Floating point decimal format. | (3) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| "\\'F\\'" | Floating point decimal format. | (3) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| "\\'g\\'" | Floating point format.

The alternate form causes a leading zero ("\\'0\\'") to be inserted\\n between left-hand padding and the formatting of the number if the\\n leading character of the result is not already a zero.\\n\\n2. The alternate form causes a leading "\\'0x\\'" or "\\'0X\\'" (depending\\n on whether the "\\'x\\'" or "\\'X\\'" format was used) to be inserted\\n between left-hand padding and the formatting of the number if the\\n leading character of the result is not already a zero.\\n\\n3. The alternate form causes the result to always contain a decimal\\n point, even if no digits follow it.\\n\\n The precision determines the number of digits after the decimal\\n point and defaults to 6.\\n\\n4. The alternate form causes the result to always contain a decimal\\n point, and trailing zeroes are not removed as they would otherwise\\n be.\\n\\n The precision determines the number of significant digits before\\n and after the decimal point and defaults to 6.\\n\\n5. The "%r" conversion was added in Python 2.0.\\n\\n The precision determines the maximal number of characters used.\\n\\n6. If the object or format provided is a "unicode" string, the\\n resulting string will also be "unicode".\\n\\n The precision determines the maximal number of characters used.\\n\\n7. See **PEP 237**.\\n\\nSince Python strings have an explicit length, "%s" conversions do not\\nassume that "\\'\\\\0\\'" is the end of the string.\\n\\nChanged in version 2.7: "%f" conversions for numbers whose absolute\\nvalue is over 1e50 are no longer replaced by "%g" conversions.\\n\\nAdditional string operations are defined in standard modules "string"\\nand "re".\\n\\n\\nXRange Type\\n===========\\n\\nThe "xrange" type is an immutable sequence which is commonly used for\\nlooping. The advantage of the "xrange" type is that an "xrange"\\nobject will always take the same amount of memory, no matter the size\\nof the range it represents. There are no consistent performance\\nadvantages.\\n\\nXRange objects have very little behavior: they only support indexing,\\niteration, and the "len()" function.\\n\\n\\nMutable Sequence Types\\n======================\\n\\nList and "bytearray" objects support additional operations that allow\\nin-place modification of the object. Other mutable sequence types\\n(when added to the language) should also support these operations.\\nStrings and tuples are immutable sequence types: such objects cannot\\nbe modified once created. The following operations are defined on\\nmutable sequence types (where *x* is an arbitrary object):\\n\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| Operation | Result | Notes |\\n+================================+==================================+=======================+\\n| "s[i] = x" | item *i* of *s* is replaced by | |\\n| | *x* | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s[i:j] = t" | slice of *s* from *i* to *j* is | |\\n| | replaced by the contents of the | |\\n| | iterable *t* | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "del s[i:j]" | same as "s[i:j] = []" | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s[i:j:k] = t" | the elements of "s[i:j:k]" are | (1) |\\n| | replaced by those of *t* | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "del s[i:j:k]" | removes the elements of | |\\n| | "s[i:j:k]" from the list | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s.append(x)" | same as "s[len(s):len(s)] = [x]" | (2) |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s.extend(x)" | same as "s[len(s):len(s)] = x" | (3) |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s.count(x)" | return number of *i*\\'s for which | |\\n| | "s[i] == x" | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s.index(x[, i[, j]])" | return smallest *k* such that | (4) |\\n| | "s[k] == x" and "i <= k < j" | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s.insert(i, x)" | same as "s[i:i] = [x]" | (5) |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s.pop([i])" | same as "x = s[i]; del s[i]; | (6) |\\n| | return x" | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s.remove(x)" | same as "del s[s.index(x)]" | (4) |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s.reverse()" | reverses the items of *s* in | (7) |\\n| | place | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| "s.sort([cmp[, key[, | sort the items of *s* in place | (7)(8)(9)(10) |\\n| reverse]]])" | | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n\\nNotes:\\n\\n1. *t* must have the same length as the slice it is replacing.\\n\\n2. The C implementation of Python has historically accepted\\n multiple parameters and implicitly joined them into a tuple; this\\n no longer works in Python 2.0. Use of this misfeature has been\\n deprecated since Python 1.4.\\n\\n3. *x* can be any iterable object.\\n\\n4. Raises "ValueError" when *x* is not found in *s*. When a\\n negative index is passed as the second or third parameter to the\\n "index()" method, the list length is added, as for slice indices.\\n If it is still negative, it is truncated to zero, as for slice\\n indices.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.3: Previously, "index()" didn\\'t have arguments\\n for specifying start and stop positions.\\n\\n5. When a negative index is passed as the first parameter to the\\n "insert()" method, the list length is added, as for slice indices.\\n If it is still negative, it is truncated to zero, as for slice\\n indices.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.3: Previously, all negative indices were\\n truncated to zero.\\n\\n6. The "pop()" method\\'s optional argument *i* defaults to "-1", so\\n that by default the last item is removed and returned.\\n\\n7. The "sort()" and "reverse()" methods modify the list in place\\n for economy of space when sorting or reversing a large list. To\\n remind you that they operate by side effect, they don\\'t return the\\n sorted or reversed list.\\n\\n8. The "sort()" method takes optional arguments for controlling the\\n comparisons.\\n\\n *cmp* specifies a custom comparison function of two arguments (list\\n items) which should return a negative, zero or positive number\\n depending on whether the first argument is considered smaller than,\\n equal to, or larger than the second argument: "cmp=lambda x,y:\\n cmp(x.lower(), y.lower())". The default value is "None".\\n\\n *key* specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract\\n a comparison key from each list element: "key=str.lower". The\\n default value is "None".\\n\\n *reverse* is a boolean value. If set to "True", then the list\\n elements are sorted as if each comparison were reversed.\\n\\n In general, the *key* and *reverse* conversion processes are much\\n faster than specifying an equivalent *cmp* function. This is\\n because *cmp* is called multiple times for each list element while\\n *key* and *reverse* touch each element only once. Use\\n "functools.cmp_to_key()" to convert an old-style *cmp* function to\\n a *key* function.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.3: Support for "None" as an equivalent to\\n omitting *cmp* was added.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.4: Support for *key* and *reverse* was added.\\n\\n9. Starting with Python 2.3, the "sort()" method is guaranteed to\\n be stable. A sort is stable if it guarantees not to change the\\n relative order of elements that compare equal --- this is helpful\\n for sorting in multiple passes (for example, sort by department,\\n then by salary grade).\\n\\n10. **CPython implementation detail:** While a list is being\\n sorted, the effect of attempting to mutate, or even inspect, the\\n list is undefined. The C implementation of Python 2.3 and newer\\n makes the list appear empty for the duration, and raises\\n "ValueError" if it can detect that the list has been mutated\\n during a sort.\\n', namespace

| H A D | topics.py | 3 'assignment': u'\nAssignment statements\n*********************\n\nAssignment statements are used to (re)bind names to values and to\nmodify attributes or items of mutable objects:\n\n assignment_stmt ::= (target_list "=")+ (expression_list | yield_expression)\n target_list ::= target ("," target)* [","]\n target ::= identifier\n | "(" target_list ")"\n | "[" target_list "]"\n | attributeref\n | subscription\n | slicing\n\n(See section *Primaries* for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn assignment statement evaluates the expression list (remember that\nthis can be a single expression or a comma-separated list, the latter\nyielding a tuple) and assigns the single resulting object to each of\nthe target lists, from left to right.\n\nAssignment is defined recursively depending on the form of the target\n(list). When a target is part of a mutable object (an attribute\nreference, subscription or slicing), the mutable object must\nultimately perform the assignment and decide about its validity, and\nmay raise an exception if the assignment is unacceptable. The rules\nobserved by various types and the exceptions raised are given with the\ndefinition of the object types (see section *The standard type\nhierarchy*).\n\nAssignment of an object to a target list is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target list is a single target: The object is assigned to\n that target.\n\n* If the target list is a comma-separated list of targets: The object\n must be an iterable with the same number of items as there are\n targets in the target list, and the items are assigned, from left to\n right, to the corresponding targets.\n\nAssignment of an object to a single target is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target is an identifier (name):\n\n * If the name does not occur in a ``global`` statement in the\n current code block: the name is bound to the object in the current\n local namespace.\n\n * Otherwise: the name is bound to the object in the current global\n namespace.\n\n The name is rebound if it was already bound. This may cause the\n reference count for the object previously bound to the name to reach\n zero, causing the object to be deallocated and its destructor (if it\n has one) to be called.\n\n* If the target is a target list enclosed in parentheses or in square\n brackets: The object must be an iterable with the same number of\n items as there are targets in the target list, and its items are\n assigned, from left to right, to the corresponding targets.\n\n* If the target is an attribute reference: The primary expression in\n the reference is evaluated. It should yield an object with\n assignable attributes; if this is not the case, ``TypeError`` is\n raised. That object is then asked to assign the assigned object to\n the given attribute; if it cannot perform the assignment, it raises\n an exception (usually but not necessarily ``AttributeError``).\n\n Note: If the object is a class instance and the attribute reference\n occurs on both sides of the assignment operator, the RHS expression,\n ``a.x`` can access either an instance attribute or (if no instance\n attribute exists) a class attribute. The LHS target ``a.x`` is\n always set as an instance attribute, creating it if necessary.\n Thus, the two occurrences of ``a.x`` do not necessarily refer to the\n same attribute: if the RHS expression refers to a class attribute,\n the LHS creates a new instance attribute as the target of the\n assignment:\n\n class Cls:\n x = 3 # class variable\n inst = Cls()\n inst.x = inst.x + 1 # writes inst.x as 4 leaving Cls.x as 3\n\n This description does not necessarily apply to descriptor\n attributes, such as properties created with ``property()``.\n\n* If the target is a subscription: The primary expression in the\n reference is evaluated. It should yield either a mutable sequence\n object (such as a list) or a mapping object (such as a dictionary).\n Next, the subscript expression is evaluated.\n\n If the primary is a mutable sequence object (such as a list), the\n subscript must yield a plain integer. If it is negative, the\n sequence\'s length is added to it. The resulting value must be a\n nonnegative integer less than the sequence\'s length, and the\n sequence is asked to assign the assigned object to its item with\n that index. If the index is out of range, ``IndexError`` is raised\n (assignment to a subscripted sequence cannot add new items to a\n list).\n\n If the primary is a mapping object (such as a dictionary), the\n subscript must have a type compatible with the mapping\'s key type,\n and the mapping is then asked to create a key/datum pair which maps\n the subscript to the assigned object. This can either replace an\n existing key/value pair with the same key value, or insert a new\n key/value pair (if no key with the same value existed).\n\n* If the target is a slicing: The primary expression in the reference\n is evaluated. It should yield a mutable sequence object (such as a\n list). The assigned object should be a sequence object of the same\n type. Next, the lower and upper bound expressions are evaluated,\n insofar they are present; defaults are zero and the sequence\'s\n length. The bounds should evaluate to (small) integers. If either\n bound is negative, the sequence\'s length is added to it. The\n resulting bounds are clipped to lie between zero and the sequence\'s\n length, inclusive. Finally, the sequence object is asked to replace\n the slice with the items of the assigned sequence. The length of\n the slice may be different from the length of the assigned sequence,\n thus changing the length of the target sequence, if the object\n allows it.\n\n**CPython implementation detail:** In the current implementation, the\nsyntax for targets is taken to be the same as for expressions, and\ninvalid syntax is rejected during the code generation phase, causing\nless detailed error messages.\n\nWARNING: Although the definition of assignment implies that overlaps\nbetween the left-hand side and the right-hand side are \'safe\' (for\nexample ``a, b = b, a`` swaps two variables), overlaps *within* the\ncollection of assigned-to variables are not safe! For instance, the\nfollowing program prints ``[0, 2]``:\n\n x = [0, 1]\n i = 0\n i, x[i] = 1, 2\n print x\n\n\nAugmented assignment statements\n===============================\n\nAugmented assignment is the combination, in a single statement, of a\nbinary operation and an assignment statement:\n\n augmented_assignment_stmt ::= augtarget augop (expression_list | yield_expression)\n augtarget ::= identifier | attributeref | subscription | slicing\n augop ::= "+=" | "-=" | "*=" | "/=" | "//=" | "%=" | "**="\n | ">>=" | "<<=" | "&=" | "^=" | "|="\n\n(See section *Primaries* for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike normal\nassignment statements, cannot be an unpacking) and the expression\nlist, performs the binary operation specific to the type of assignment\non the two operands, and assigns the result to the original target.\nThe target is only evaluated once.\n\nAn augmented assignment expression like ``x += 1`` can be rewritten as\n``x = x + 1`` to achieve a similar, but not exactly equal effect. In\nthe augmented version, ``x`` is only evaluated once. Also, when\npossible, the actual operation is performed *in-place*, meaning that\nrather than creating a new object and assigning that to the target,\nthe old object is modified instead.\n\nWith the exception of assigning to tuples and multiple targets in a\nsingle statement, the assignment done by augmented assignment\nstatements is handled the same way as normal assignments. Similarly,\nwith the exception of the possible *in-place* behavior, the binary\noperation performed by augmented assignment is the same as the normal\nbinary operations.\n\nFor targets which are attribute references, the same *caveat about\nclass and instance attributes* applies as for regular assignments.\n',
4 'atom-identifiers': u'\nIdentifiers (Names)\n*******************\n\nAn identifier occurring as an atom is a name. See section\n*Identifiers and keywords* for lexical definition and section *Naming\nand binding* for documentation of naming and binding.\n\nWhen the name is bound to an object, evaluation of the atom yields\nthat object. When a name is not bound, an attempt to evaluate it\nraises a ``NameError`` exception.\n\n**Private name mangling:** When an identifier that textually occurs in\na class definition begins with two or more underscore characters and\ndoes not end in two or more underscores, it is considered a *private\nname* of that class. Private names are transformed to a longer form\nbefore code is generated for them. The transformation inserts the\nclass name in front of the name, with leading underscores removed, and\na single underscore inserted in front of the class name. For example,\nthe identifier ``__spam`` occurring in a class named ``Ham`` will be\ntransformed to ``_Ham__spam``.

6 'attribute-access': u'\nCustomizing attribute access\n****************************\n\nThe following methods can be defined to customize the meaning of\nattribute access (use of, assignment to, or deletion of ``x.name``)\nfor class instances.\n\nobject.__getattr__(self, name)\n\n Called when an attribute lookup has not found the attribute in the\n usual places (i.e. it is not an instance attribute nor is it found\n in the class tree for ``self``). ``name`` is the attribute name.\n This method should return the (computed) attribute value or raise\n an ``AttributeError`` exception.\n\n Note that if the attribute is found through the normal mechanism,\n ``__getattr__()`` is not called. (This is an intentional asymmetry\n between ``__getattr__()`` and ``__setattr__()``.) This is done both\n for efficiency reasons and because otherwise ``__getattr__()``\n would have no way to access other attributes of the instance. Note\n that at least for instance variables, you can fake total control by\n not inserting any values in the instance attribute dictionary (but\n instead inserting them in another object). See the\n ``__getattribute__()`` method below for a way to actually get total\n control in new-style classes.\n\nobject.__setattr__(self, name, value)\n\n Called when an attribute assignment is attempted. This is called\n instead of the normal mechanism (i.e. store the value in the\n instance dictionary). *name* is the attribute name, *value* is the\n value to be assigned to it.\n\n If ``__setattr__()`` wants to assign to an instance attribute, it\n should not simply execute ``self.name = value`` --- this would\n cause a recursive call to itself. Instead, it should insert the\n value in the dictionary of instance attributes, e.g.,\n ``self.__dict__[name] = value``. For new-style classes, rather\n than accessing the instance dictionary, it should call the base\n class method with the same name, for example,\n ``object.__setattr__(self, name, value)``.\n\nobject.__delattr__(self, name)\n\n Like ``__setattr__()`` but for attribute deletion instead of\n assignment. This should only be implemented if ``del obj.name`` is\n meaningful for the object.\n\n\nMore attribute access for new-style classes\n===========================================\n\nThe following methods only apply to new-style classes.\n\nobject.__getattribute__(self, name)\n\n Called unconditionally to implement attribute accesses for\n instances of the class. If the class also defines\n ``__getattr__()``, the latter will not be called unless\n ``__getattribute__()`` either calls it explicitly or raises an\n ``AttributeError``. This method should return the (computed)\n attribute value or raise an ``AttributeError`` exception. In order\n to avoid infinite recursion in this method, its implementation\n should always call the base class method with the same name to\n access any attributes it needs, for example,\n ``object.__getattribute__(self, name)``.\n\n Note: This method may still be bypassed when looking up special methods\n as the result of implicit invocation via language syntax or\n built-in functions. See *Special method lookup for new-style\n classes*.\n\n\nImplementing Descriptors\n========================\n\nThe following methods only apply when an instance of the class\ncontaining the method (a so-called *descriptor* class) appears in an\n*owner* class (the descriptor must be in either the owner\'s class\ndictionary or in the class dictionary for one of its parents). In the\nexamples below, "the attribute" refers to the attribute whose name is\nthe key of the property in the owner class\' ``__dict__``.\n\nobject.__get__(self, instance, owner)\n\n Called to get the attribute of the owner class (class attribute\n access) or of an instance of that class (instance attribute\n access). *owner* is always the owner class, while *instance* is the\n instance that the attribute was accessed through, or ``None`` when\n the attribute is accessed through the *owner*. This method should\n return the (computed) attribute value or raise an\n ``AttributeError`` exception.\n\nobject.__set__(self, instance, value)\n\n Called to set the attribute on an instance *instance* of the owner\n class to a new value, *value*.\n\nobject.__delete__(self, instance)\n\n Called to delete the attribute on an instance *instance* of the\n owner class.\n\n\nInvoking Descriptors\n====================\n\nIn general, a descriptor is an object attribute with "binding\nbehavior", one whose attribute access has been overridden by methods\nin the descriptor protocol: ``__get__()``, ``__set__()``, and\n``__delete__()``. If any of those methods are defined for an object,\nit is said to be a descriptor.\n\nThe default behavior for attribute access is to get, set, or delete\nthe attribute from an object\'s dictionary. For instance, ``a.x`` has a\nlookup chain starting with ``a.__dict__[\'x\']``, then\n``type(a).__dict__[\'x\']``, and continuing through the base classes of\n``type(a)`` excluding metaclasses.\n\nHowever, if the looked-up value is an object defining one of the\ndescriptor methods, then Python may override the default behavior and\ninvoke the descriptor method instead. Where this occurs in the\nprecedence chain depends on which descriptor methods were defined and\nhow they were called. Note that descriptors are only invoked for new\nstyle objects or classes (ones that subclass ``object()`` or\n``type()``).\n\nThe starting point for descriptor invocation is a binding, ``a.x``.\nHow the arguments are assembled depends on ``a``:\n\nDirect Call\n The simplest and least common call is when user code directly\n invokes a descriptor method: ``x.__get__(a)``.\n\nInstance Binding\n If binding to a new-style object instance, ``a.x`` is transformed\n into the call: ``type(a).__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(a, type(a))``.\n\nClass Binding\n If binding to a new-style class, ``A.x`` is transformed into the\n call: ``A.__dict__[\'x\'].__get__(None, A)``.\n\nSuper Binding\n If ``a`` is an instance of ``super``, then the binding ``super(B,\n obj).m()`` searches ``obj.__class__.__mro__`` for the base class\n ``A`` immediately preceding ``B`` and then invokes the descriptor\n with the call: ``A.__dict__[\'m\'].__get__(obj, obj.__class__)``.\n\nFor instance bindings, the precedence of descriptor invocation depends\non the which descriptor methods are defined. A descriptor can define\nany combination of ``__get__()``, ``__set__()`` and ``__delete__()``.\nIf it does not define ``__get__()``, then accessing the attribute will\nreturn the descriptor object itself unless there is a value in the\nobject\'s instance dictionary. If the descriptor defines ``__set__()``\nand/or ``__delete__()``, it is a data descriptor; if it defines\nneither, it is a non-data descriptor. Normally, data descriptors\ndefine both ``__get__()`` and ``__set__()``, while non-data\ndescriptors have just the ``__get__()`` method. Data descriptors with\n``__set__()`` and ``__get__()`` defined always override a redefinition\nin an instance dictionary. In contrast, non-data descriptors can be\noverridden by instances.\n\nPython methods (including ``staticmethod()`` and ``classmethod()``)\nare implemented as non-data descriptors. Accordingly, instances can\nredefine and override methods. This allows individual instances to\nacquire behaviors that differ from other instances of the same class.\n\nThe ``property()`` function is implemented as a data descriptor.\nAccordingly, instances cannot override the behavior of a property.\n\n\n__slots__\n=========\n\nBy default, instances of both old and new-style classes have a\ndictionary for attribute storage. This wastes space for objects\nhaving very few instance variables. The space consumption can become\nacute when creating large numbers of instances.\n\nThe default can be overridden by defining *__slots__* in a new-style\nclass definition. The *__slots__* declaration takes a sequence of\ninstance variables and reserves just enough space in each instance to\nhold a value for each variable. Space is saved because *__dict__* is\nnot created for each instance.\n\n__slots__\n\n This class variable can be assigned a string, iterable, or sequence\n of strings with variable names used by instances. If defined in a\n new-style class, *__slots__* reserves space for the declared\n variables and prevents the automatic creation of *__dict__* and\n *__weakref__* for each instance.\n\n New in version 2.2.\n\nNotes on using *__slots__*\n\n* When inheriting from a class without *__slots__*, the *__dict__*\n attribute of that class will always be accessible, so a *__slots__*\n definition in the subclass is meaningless.\n\n* Without a *__dict__* variable, instances cannot be assigned new\n variables not listed in the *__slots__* definition. Attempts to\n assign to an unlisted variable name raises ``AttributeError``. If\n dynamic assignment of new variables is desired, then add\n ``\'__dict__\'`` to the sequence of strings in the *__slots__*\n declaration.\n\n Changed in version 2.3: Previously, adding ``\'__dict__\'`` to the\n *__slots__* declaration would not enable the assignment of new\n attributes not specifically listed in the sequence of instance\n variable names.\n\n* Without a *__weakref__* variable for each instance, classes defining\n *__slots__* do not support weak references to its instances. If weak\n reference support is needed, then add ``\'__weakref__\'`` to the\n sequence of strings in the *__slots__* declaration.\n\n Changed in version 2.3: Previously, adding ``\'__weakref__\'`` to the\n *__slots__* declaration would not enable support for weak\n references.\n\n* *__slots__* are implemented at the class level by creating\n descriptors (*Implementing Descriptors*) for each variable name. As\n a result, class attributes cannot be used to set default values for\n instance variables defined by *__slots__*; otherwise, the class\n attribute would overwrite the descriptor assignment.\n\n* The action of a *__slots__* declaration is limited to the class\n where it is defined. As a result, subclasses will have a *__dict__*\n unless they also define *__slots__* (which must only contain names\n of any *additional* slots).\n\n* If a class defines a slot also defined in a base class, the instance\n variable defined by the base class slot is inaccessible (except by\n retrieving its descriptor directly from the base class). This\n renders the meaning of the program undefined. In the future, a\n check may be added to prevent this.\n\n* Nonempty *__slots__* does not work for classes derived from\n "variable-length" built-in types such as ``long``, ``str`` and\n ``tuple``.\n\n* Any non-string iterable may be assigned to *__slots__*. Mappings may\n also be used; however, in the future, special meaning may be\n assigned to the values corresponding to each key.\n\n* *__class__* assignment works only if both classes have the same\n *__slots__*.\n\n Changed in version 2.6: Previously, *__class__* assignment raised an\n error if either new or old class had *__slots__*.\n',

31 'dynamic-features': u'\\nInteraction with dynamic features\\n*********************************\\n\\nThere are several cases where Python statements are illegal when used\\nin conjunction with nested scopes that contain free variables.\\n\\nIf a variable is referenced in an enclosing scope, it is illegal to\\ndelete the name.

78 'typesseq': u'\\nSequence Types --- ``str``, ``unicode``, ``list``, ``tuple``, ``bytearray``, ``buffer``, ``xrange``\\n***************************************************************************************************\\n\\nThere are seven sequence types: strings, Unicode strings, lists,\\ntuples, bytearrays, buffers, and xrange objects.\\n\\nFor other containers see the built in ``dict`` and ``set`` classes,\\nand the ``collections`` module.\\n\\nString literals are written in single or double quotes: ``\\'xyzzy\\'``,\\n``"frobozz"``. See *String literals* for more about string literals.\\nUnicode strings are much like strings, but are specified in the syntax\\nusing a preceding ``\\'u\\'`` character: ``u\\'abc\\'``, ``u"def"``. In\\naddition to the functionality described here, there are also string-\\nspecific methods described in the *String Methods* section. Lists are\\nconstructed with square brackets, separating items with commas: ``[a,\\nb, c]``. Tuples are constructed by the comma operator (not within\\nsquare brackets), with or without enclosing parentheses, but an empty\\ntuple must have the enclosing parentheses, such as ``a, b, c`` or\\n``()``. A single item tuple must have a trailing comma, such as\\n``(d,)``.\\n\\nBytearray objects are created with the built-in function\\n``bytearray()``.\\n\\nBuffer objects are not directly supported by Python syntax, but can be\\ncreated by calling the built-in function ``buffer()``. They don\\'t\\nsupport concatenation or repetition.\\n\\nObjects of type xrange are similar to buffers in that there is no\\nspecific syntax to create them, but they are created using the\\n``xrange()`` function. They don\\'t support slicing, concatenation or\\nrepetition, and using ``in``, ``not in``, ``min()`` or ``max()`` on\\nthem is inefficient.\\n\\nMost sequence types support the following operations. The ``in`` and\\n``not in`` operations have the same priorities as the comparison\\noperations. The ``+`` and ``*`` operations have the same priority as\\nthe corresponding numeric operations. [3] Additional methods are\\nprovided for *Mutable Sequence Types*.\\n\\nThis table lists the sequence operations sorted in ascending priority\\n(operations in the same box have the same priority). In the table,\\n*s* and *t* are sequences of the same type; *n*, *i* and *j* are\\nintegers:\\n\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| Operation | Result | Notes |\\n+====================+==================================+============+\\n| ``x in s`` | ``True`` if an item of *s* is | (1) |\\n| | equal to *x*, else ``False`` | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``x not in s`` | ``False`` if an item of *s* is | (1) |\\n| | equal to *x*, else ``True`` | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``s + t`` | the concatenation of *s* and *t* | (6) |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``s * n, n * s`` | *n* shallow copies of *s* | (2) |\\n| | concatenated | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``s[i]`` | *i*\\'th item of *s*, origin 0 | (3) |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``s[i:j]`` | slice of *s* from *i* to *j* | (3)(4) |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``s[i:j:k]`` | slice of *s* from *i* to *j* | (3)(5) |\\n| | with step *k* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``len(s)`` | length of *s* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``min(s)`` | smallest item of *s* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``max(s)`` | largest item of *s* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``s.index(i)`` | index of the first occurence of | |\\n| | *i* in *s* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n| ``s.count(i)`` | total number of occurences of | |\\n| | *i* in *s* | |\\n+--------------------+----------------------------------+------------+\\n\\nSequence types also support comparisons. In particular, tuples and\\nlists are compared lexicographically by comparing corresponding\\nelements. This means that to compare equal, every element must compare\\nequal and the two sequences must be of the same type and have the same\\nlength. (For full details see *Comparisons* in the language\\nreference.)\\n\\nNotes:\\n\\n1. When *s* is a string or Unicode string object the ``in`` and ``not\\n in`` operations act like a substring test. In Python versions\\n before 2.3, *x* had to be a string of length 1. In Python 2.3 and\\n beyond, *x* may be a string of any length.\\n\\n2. Values of *n* less than ``0`` are treated as ``0`` (which yields an\\n empty sequence of the same type as *s*). Note also that the copies\\n are shallow; nested structures are not copied. This often haunts\\n new Python programmers; consider:\\n\\n >>> lists = [[]] * 3\\n >>> lists\\n [[], [], []]\\n >>> lists[0].append(3)\\n >>> lists\\n [[3], [3], [3]]\\n\\n What has happened is that ``[[]]`` is a one-element list containing\\n an empty list, so all three elements of ``[[]] * 3`` are (pointers\\n to) this single empty list. Modifying any of the elements of\\n ``lists`` modifies this single list. You can create a list of\\n different lists this way:\\n\\n >>> lists = [[] for i in range(3)]\\n >>> lists[0].append(3)\\n >>> lists[1].append(5)\\n >>> lists[2].append(7)\\n >>> lists\\n [[3], [5], [7]]\\n\\n3. If *i* or *j* is negative, the index is relative to the end of the\\n string: ``len(s) + i`` or ``len(s) + j`` is substituted. But note\\n that ``-0`` is still ``0``.\\n\\n4. The slice of *s* from *i* to *j* is defined as the sequence of\\n items with index *k* such that ``i <= k < j``. If *i* or *j* is\\n greater than ``len(s)``, use ``len(s)``. If *i* is omitted or\\n ``None``, use ``0``. If *j* is omitted or ``None``, use\\n ``len(s)``. If *i* is greater than or equal to *j*, the slice is\\n empty.\\n\\n5. The slice of *s* from *i* to *j* with step *k* is defined as the\\n sequence of items with index ``x = i + n*k`` such that ``0 <= n <\\n (j-i)/k``. In other words, the indices are ``i``, ``i+k``,\\n ``i+2*k``, ``i+3*k`` and so on, stopping when *j* is reached (but\\n never including *j*). If *i* or *j* is greater than ``len(s)``,\\n use ``len(s)``. If *i* or *j* are omitted or ``None``, they become\\n "end" values (which end depends on the sign of *k*). Note, *k*\\n cannot be zero. If *k* is ``None``, it is treated like ``1``.\\n\\n6. **CPython implementation detail:** If *s* and *t* are both strings,\\n some Python implementations such as CPython can usually perform an\\n in-place optimization for assignments of the form ``s = s + t`` or\\n ``s += t``. When applicable, this optimization makes quadratic\\n run-time much less likely. This optimization is both version and\\n implementation dependent. For performance sensitive code, it is\\n preferable to use the ``str.join()`` method which assures\\n consistent linear concatenation performance across versions and\\n implementations.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.4: Formerly, string concatenation never\\n occurred in-place.\\n\\n\\nString Methods\\n==============\\n\\nBelow are listed the string methods which both 8-bit strings and\\nUnicode objects support. Some of them are also available on\\n``bytearray`` objects.\\n\\nIn addition, Python\\'s strings support the sequence type methods\\ndescribed in the *Sequence Types --- str, unicode, list, tuple,\\nbytearray, buffer, xrange* section. To output formatted strings use\\ntemplate strings or the ``%`` operator described in the *String\\nFormatting Operations* section. Also, see the ``re`` module for string\\nfunctions based on regular expressions.\\n\\nstr.capitalize()\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with its first character capitalized\\n and the rest lowercased.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.center(width[, fillchar])\\n\\n Return centered in a string of length *width*. Padding is done\\n using the specified *fillchar* (default is a space).\\n\\n Changed in version 2.4: Support for the *fillchar* argument.\\n\\nstr.count(sub[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Return the number of non-overlapping occurrences of substring *sub*\\n in the range [*start*, *end*]. Optional arguments *start* and\\n *end* are interpreted as in slice notation.\\n\\nstr.decode([encoding[, errors]])\\n\\n Decodes the string using the codec registered for *encoding*.\\n *encoding* defaults to the default string encoding. *errors* may\\n be given to set a different error handling scheme. The default is\\n ``\\'strict\\'``, meaning that encoding errors raise ``UnicodeError``.\\n Other possible values are ``\\'ignore\\'``, ``\\'replace\\'`` and any other\\n name registered via ``codecs.register_error()``, see section *Codec\\n Base Classes*.\\n\\n New in version 2.2.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.3: Support for other error handling schemes\\n added.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.7: Support for keyword arguments added.\\n\\nstr.encode([encoding[, errors]])\\n\\n Return an encoded version of the string. Default encoding is the\\n current default string encoding. *errors* may be given to set a\\n different error handling scheme. The default for *errors* is\\n ``\\'strict\\'``, meaning that encoding errors raise a\\n ``UnicodeError``. Other possible values are ``\\'ignore\\'``,\\n ``\\'replace\\'``, ``\\'xmlcharrefreplace\\'``, ``\\'backslashreplace\\'`` and\\n any other name registered via ``codecs.register_error()``, see\\n section *Codec Base Classes*. For a list of possible encodings, see\\n section *Standard Encodings*.\\n\\n New in version 2.0.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.3: Support for ``\\'xmlcharrefreplace\\'`` and\\n ``\\'backslashreplace\\'`` and other error handling schemes added.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.7: Support for keyword arguments added.\\n\\nstr.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Return ``True`` if the string ends with the specified *suffix*,\\n otherwise return ``False``. *suffix* can also be a tuple of\\n suffixes to look for. With optional *start*, test beginning at\\n that position. With optional *end*, stop comparing at that\\n position.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.5: Accept tuples as *suffix*.\\n\\nstr.expandtabs([tabsize])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string where all tab characters are replaced\\n by one or more spaces, depending on the current column and the\\n given tab size. The column number is reset to zero after each\\n newline occurring in the string. If *tabsize* is not given, a tab\\n size of ``8`` characters is assumed. This doesn\\'t understand other\\n non-printing characters or escape sequences.\\n\\nstr.find(sub[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Return the lowest index in the string where substring *sub* is\\n found, such that *sub* is contained in the slice ``s[start:end]``.\\n Optional arguments *start* and *end* are interpreted as in slice\\n notation. Return ``-1`` if *sub* is not found.\\n\\n Note: The ``find()`` method should be used only if you need to know the\\n position of *sub*. To check if *sub* is a substring or not, use\\n the ``in`` operator:\\n\\n >>> \\'Py\\' in \\'Python\\'\\n True\\n\\nstr.format(*args, **kwargs)\\n\\n Perform a string formatting operation. The string on which this\\n method is called can contain literal text or replacement fields\\n delimited by braces ``{}``. Each replacement field contains either\\n the numeric index of a positional argument, or the name of a\\n keyword argument. Returns a copy of the string where each\\n replacement field is replaced with the string value of the\\n corresponding argument.\\n\\n >>> "The sum of 1 + 2 is {0}".format(1+2)\\n \\'The sum of 1 + 2 is 3\\'\\n\\n See *Format String Syntax* for a description of the various\\n formatting options that can be specified in format strings.\\n\\n This method of string formatting is the new standard in Python 3.0,\\n and should be preferred to the ``%`` formatting described in\\n *String Formatting Operations* in new code.\\n\\n New in version 2.6.\\n\\nstr.index(sub[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Like ``find()``, but raise ``ValueError`` when the substring is not\\n found.\\n\\nstr.isalnum()\\n\\n Return true if all characters in the string are alphanumeric and\\n there is at least one character, false otherwise.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.isalpha()\\n\\n Return true if all characters in the string are alphabetic and\\n there is at least one character, false otherwise.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.isdigit()\\n\\n Return true if all characters in the string are digits and there is\\n at least one character, false otherwise.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.islower()\\n\\n Return true if all cased characters in the string are lowercase and\\n there is at least one cased character, false otherwise.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.isspace()\\n\\n Return true if there are only whitespace characters in the string\\n and there is at least one character, false otherwise.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.istitle()\\n\\n Return true if the string is a titlecased string and there is at\\n least one character, for example uppercase characters may only\\n follow uncased characters and lowercase characters only cased ones.\\n Return false otherwise.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.isupper()\\n\\n Return true if all cased characters in the string are uppercase and\\n there is at least one cased character, false otherwise.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.join(iterable)\\n\\n Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in the\\n *iterable* *iterable*. The separator between elements is the\\n string providing this method.\\n\\nstr.ljust(width[, fillchar])\\n\\n Return the string left justified in a string of length *width*.\\n Padding is done using the specified *fillchar* (default is a\\n space).

The\\n *chars* argument is a string specifying the set of characters to be\\n removed. If omitted or ``None``, the *chars* argument defaults to\\n removing whitespace. The *chars* argument is not a prefix; rather,\\n all combinations of its values are stripped:\\n\\n >>> \\' spacious \\'.lstrip()\\n \\'spacious \\'\\n >>> \\'www.example.com\\'.lstrip(\\'cmowz.\\')\\n \\'example.com\\'\\n\\n Changed in version 2.2.2: Support for the *chars* argument.\\n\\nstr.partition(sep)\\n\\n Split the string at the first occurrence of *sep*, and return a\\n 3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator\\n itself, and the part after the separator. If the separator is not\\n found, return a 3-tuple containing the string itself, followed by\\n two empty strings.\\n\\n New in version 2.5.\\n\\nstr.replace(old, new[, count])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring *old*\\n replaced by *new*.

If the separator is not\\n found, return a 3-tuple containing two empty strings, followed by\\n the string itself.\\n\\n New in version 2.5.\\n\\nstr.rsplit([sep[, maxsplit]])\\n\\n Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* as the\\n delimiter string. If *maxsplit* is given, at most *maxsplit* splits\\n are done, the *rightmost* ones. If *sep* is not specified or\\n ``None``, any whitespace string is a separator. Except for\\n splitting from the right, ``rsplit()`` behaves like ``split()``\\n which is described in detail below.\\n\\n New in version 2.4.\\n\\nstr.rstrip([chars])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with trailing characters removed. The\\n *chars* argument is a string specifying the set of characters to be\\n removed. If omitted or ``None``, the *chars* argument defaults to\\n removing whitespace. The *chars* argument is not a suffix; rather,\\n all combinations of its values are stripped:\\n\\n >>> \\' spacious \\'.rstrip()\\n \\' spacious\\'\\n >>> \\'mississippi\\'.rstrip(\\'ipz\\')\\n \\'mississ\\'\\n\\n Changed in version 2.2.2: Support for the *chars* argument.\\n\\nstr.split([sep[, maxsplit]])\\n\\n Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* as the\\n delimiter string. If *maxsplit* is given, at most *maxsplit*\\n splits are done (thus, the list will have at most ``maxsplit+1``\\n elements). If *maxsplit* is not specified, then there is no limit\\n on the number of splits (all possible splits are made).\\n\\n If *sep* is given, consecutive delimiters are not grouped together\\n and are deemed to delimit empty strings (for example,\\n ``\\'1,,2\\'.split(\\',\\')`` returns ``[\\'1\\', \\'\\', \\'2\\']``). The *sep*\\n argument may consist of multiple characters (for example,\\n ``\\'1<>2<>3\\'.split(\\'<>\\')`` returns ``[\\'1\\', \\'2\\', \\'3\\']``). Splitting\\n an empty string with a specified separator returns ``[\\'\\']``.\\n\\n If *sep* is not specified or is ``None``, a different splitting\\n algorithm is applied: runs of consecutive whitespace are regarded\\n as a single separator, and the result will contain no empty strings\\n at the start or end if the string has leading or trailing\\n whitespace. Consequently, splitting an empty string or a string\\n consisting of just whitespace with a ``None`` separator returns\\n ``[]``.\\n\\n For example, ``\\' 1 2 3 \\'.split()`` returns ``[\\'1\\', \\'2\\', \\'3\\']``,\\n and ``\\' 1 2 3 \\'.split(None, 1)`` returns ``[\\'1\\', \\'2 3 \\']``.\\n\\nstr.splitlines([keepends])\\n\\n Return a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line\\n boundaries. Line breaks are not included in the resulting list\\n unless *keepends* is given and true.\\n\\nstr.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])\\n\\n Return ``True`` if string starts with the *prefix*, otherwise\\n return ``False``. *prefix* can also be a tuple of prefixes to look\\n for. With optional *start*, test string beginning at that\\n position. With optional *end*, stop comparing string at that\\n position.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.5: Accept tuples as *prefix*.\\n\\nstr.strip([chars])\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with the leading and trailing\\n characters removed. The *chars* argument is a string specifying the\\n set of characters to be removed. If omitted or ``None``, the\\n *chars* argument defaults to removing whitespace. The *chars*\\n argument is not a prefix or suffix; rather, all combinations of its\\n values are stripped:\\n\\n >>> \\' spacious \\'.strip()\\n \\'spacious\\'\\n >>> \\'www.example.com\\'.strip(\\'cmowz.\\')\\n \\'example\\'\\n\\n Changed in version 2.2.2: Support for the *chars* argument.\\n\\nstr.swapcase()\\n\\n Return a copy of the string with uppercase characters converted to\\n lowercase and vice versa.\\n\\n For 8-bit strings, this method is locale-dependent.\\n\\nstr.title()\\n\\n Return a titlecased version of the string where words start with an\\n uppercase character and the remaining characters are lowercase.\\n\\n The algorithm uses a simple language-independent definition of a\\n word as groups of consecutive letters.

Decimal characters include digit characters,\\n and all characters that that can be used to form decimal-radix\\n numbers, e.g. U+0660, ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ZERO.\\n\\n\\nString Formatting Operations\\n============================\\n\\nString and Unicode objects have one unique built-in operation: the\\n``%`` operator (modulo). This is also known as the string\\n*formatting* or *interpolation* operator. Given ``format % values``\\n(where *format* is a string or Unicode object), ``%`` conversion\\nspecifications in *format* are replaced with zero or more elements of\\n*values*. The effect is similar to the using ``sprintf()`` in the C\\nlanguage. If *format* is a Unicode object, or if any of the objects\\nbeing converted using the ``%s`` conversion are Unicode objects, the\\nresult will also be a Unicode object.\\n\\nIf *format* requires a single argument, *values* may be a single non-\\ntuple object. [4] Otherwise, *values* must be a tuple with exactly\\nthe number of items specified by the format string, or a single\\nmapping object (for example, a dictionary).\\n\\nA conversion specifier contains two or more characters and has the\\nfollowing components, which must occur in this order:\\n\\n1. The ``\\'%\\'`` character, which marks the start of the specifier.\\n\\n2. Mapping key (optional), consisting of a parenthesised sequence of\\n characters (for example, ``(somename)``).\\n\\n3. Conversion flags (optional), which affect the result of some\\n conversion types.\\n\\n4. Minimum field width (optional). If specified as an ``\\'*\\'``\\n (asterisk), the actual width is read from the next element of the\\n tuple in *values*, and the object to convert comes after the\\n minimum field width and optional precision.\\n\\n5. Precision (optional), given as a ``\\'.\\'`` (dot) followed by the\\n precision. If specified as ``\\'*\\'`` (an asterisk), the actual width\\n is read from the next element of the tuple in *values*, and the\\n value to convert comes after the precision.\\n\\n6. Length modifier (optional).\\n\\n7. Conversion type.\\n\\nWhen the right argument is a dictionary (or other mapping type), then\\nthe formats in the string *must* include a parenthesised mapping key\\ninto that dictionary inserted immediately after the ``\\'%\\'`` character.\\nThe mapping key selects the value to be formatted from the mapping.\\nFor example:\\n\\n>>> print \\'%(language)s has %(number)03d quote types.\\' % \\\\\\n... {"language": "Python", "number": 2}\\nPython has 002 quote types.\\n\\nIn this case no ``*`` specifiers may occur in a format (since they\\nrequire a sequential parameter list).\\n\\nThe conversion flag characters are:\\n\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n| Flag | Meaning |\\n+===========+=======================================================================+\\n| ``\\'#\\'`` | The value conversion will use the "alternate form" (where defined |\\n| | below). |\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n| ``\\'0\\'`` | The conversion will be zero padded for numeric values. |\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n| ``\\'-\\'`` | The converted value is left adjusted (overrides the ``\\'0\\'`` |\\n| | conversion if both are given). |\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n| ``\\' \\'`` | (a space) A blank should be left before a positive number (or empty |\\n| | string) produced by a signed conversion. |\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n| ``\\'+\\'`` | A sign character (``\\'+\\'`` or ``\\'-\\'``) will precede the conversion |\\n| | (overrides a "space" flag). |\\n+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+\\n\\nA length modifier (``h``, ``l``, or ``L``) may be present, but is\\nignored as it is not necessary for Python -- so e.g. ``%ld`` is\\nidentical to ``%d``.\\n\\nThe conversion types are:\\n\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| Conversion | Meaning | Notes |\\n+==============+=======================================================+=========+\\n| ``\\'d\\'`` | Signed integer decimal. | |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| ``\\'i\\'`` | Signed integer decimal. | |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| ``\\'o\\'`` | Signed octal value. | (1) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| ``\\'u\\'`` | Obsolete type -- it is identical to ``\\'d\\'``. | (7) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| ``\\'x\\'`` | Signed hexadecimal (lowercase). | (2) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| ``\\'X\\'`` | Signed hexadecimal (uppercase). | (2) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| ``\\'e\\'`` | Floating point exponential format (lowercase). | (3) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| ``\\'E\\'`` | Floating point exponential format (uppercase). | (3) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| ``\\'f\\'`` | Floating point decimal format. | (3) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| ``\\'F\\'`` | Floating point decimal format. | (3) |\\n+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+---------+\\n| ``\\'g\\'`` | Floating point format.

The alternate form causes a leading zero (``\\'0\\'``) to be inserted\\n between left-hand padding and the formatting of the number if the\\n leading character of the result is not already a zero.\\n\\n2. The alternate form causes a leading ``\\'0x\\'`` or ``\\'0X\\'`` (depending\\n on whether the ``\\'x\\'`` or ``\\'X\\'`` format was used) to be inserted\\n between left-hand padding and the formatting of the number if the\\n leading character of the result is not already a zero.\\n\\n3. The alternate form causes the result to always contain a decimal\\n point, even if no digits follow it.\\n\\n The precision determines the number of digits after the decimal\\n point and defaults to 6.\\n\\n4. The alternate form causes the result to always contain a decimal\\n point, and trailing zeroes are not removed as they would otherwise\\n be.\\n\\n The precision determines the number of significant digits before\\n and after the decimal point and defaults to 6.\\n\\n5. The ``%r`` conversion was added in Python 2.0.\\n\\n The precision determines the maximal number of characters used.\\n\\n6. If the object or format provided is a ``unicode`` string, the\\n resulting string will also be ``unicode``.\\n\\n The precision determines the maximal number of characters used.\\n\\n7. See **PEP 237**.\\n\\nSince Python strings have an explicit length, ``%s`` conversions do\\nnot assume that ``\\'\\\\0\\'`` is the end of the string.\\n\\nChanged in version 2.7: ``%f`` conversions for numbers whose absolute\\nvalue is over 1e50 are no longer replaced by ``%g`` conversions.\\n\\nAdditional string operations are defined in standard modules\\n``string`` and ``re``.\\n\\n\\nXRange Type\\n===========\\n\\nThe ``xrange`` type is an immutable sequence which is commonly used\\nfor looping. The advantage of the ``xrange`` type is that an\\n``xrange`` object will always take the same amount of memory, no\\nmatter the size of the range it represents. There are no consistent\\nperformance advantages.\\n\\nXRange objects have very little behavior: they only support indexing,\\niteration, and the ``len()`` function.\\n\\n\\nMutable Sequence Types\\n======================\\n\\nList and ``bytearray`` objects support additional operations that\\nallow in-place modification of the object. Other mutable sequence\\ntypes (when added to the language) should also support these\\noperations. Strings and tuples are immutable sequence types: such\\nobjects cannot be modified once created. The following operations are\\ndefined on mutable sequence types (where *x* is an arbitrary object):\\n\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| Operation | Result | Notes |\\n+================================+==================================+=======================+\\n| ``s[i] = x`` | item *i* of *s* is replaced by | |\\n| | *x* | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s[i:j] = t`` | slice of *s* from *i* to *j* is | |\\n| | replaced by the contents of the | |\\n| | iterable *t* | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``del s[i:j]`` | same as ``s[i:j] = []`` | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s[i:j:k] = t`` | the elements of ``s[i:j:k]`` are | (1) |\\n| | replaced by those of *t* | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``del s[i:j:k]`` | removes the elements of | |\\n| | ``s[i:j:k]`` from the list | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s.append(x)`` | same as ``s[len(s):len(s)] = | (2) |\\n| | [x]`` | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s.extend(x)`` | same as ``s[len(s):len(s)] = x`` | (3) |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s.count(x)`` | return number of *i*\\'s for which | |\\n| | ``s[i] == x`` | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s.index(x[, i[, j]])`` | return smallest *k* such that | (4) |\\n| | ``s[k] == x`` and ``i <= k < j`` | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s.insert(i, x)`` | same as ``s[i:i] = [x]`` | (5) |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s.pop([i])`` | same as ``x = s[i]; del s[i]; | (6) |\\n| | return x`` | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s.remove(x)`` | same as ``del s[s.index(x)]`` | (4) |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s.reverse()`` | reverses the items of *s* in | (7) |\\n| | place | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n| ``s.sort([cmp[, key[, | sort the items of *s* in place | (7)(8)(9)(10) |\\n| reverse]]])`` | | |\\n+--------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----------------------+\\n\\nNotes:\\n\\n1. *t* must have the same length as the slice it is replacing.\\n\\n2. The C implementation of Python has historically accepted multiple\\n parameters and implicitly joined them into a tuple; this no longer\\n works in Python 2.0. Use of this misfeature has been deprecated\\n since Python 1.4.\\n\\n3. *x* can be any iterable object.\\n\\n4. Raises ``ValueError`` when *x* is not found in *s*. When a negative\\n index is passed as the second or third parameter to the ``index()``\\n method, the list length is added, as for slice indices. If it is\\n still negative, it is truncated to zero, as for slice indices.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.3: Previously, ``index()`` didn\\'t have\\n arguments for specifying start and stop positions.\\n\\n5. When a negative index is passed as the first parameter to the\\n ``insert()`` method, the list length is added, as for slice\\n indices. If it is still negative, it is truncated to zero, as for\\n slice indices.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.3: Previously, all negative indices were\\n truncated to zero.\\n\\n6. The ``pop()`` method is only supported by the list and array types.\\n The optional argument *i* defaults to ``-1``, so that by default\\n the last item is removed and returned.\\n\\n7. The ``sort()`` and ``reverse()`` methods modify the list in place\\n for economy of space when sorting or reversing a large list. To\\n remind you that they operate by side effect, they don\\'t return the\\n sorted or reversed list.\\n\\n8. The ``sort()`` method takes optional arguments for controlling the\\n comparisons.\\n\\n *cmp* specifies a custom comparison function of two arguments (list\\n items) which should return a negative, zero or positive number\\n depending on whether the first argument is considered smaller than,\\n equal to, or larger than the second argument: ``cmp=lambda x,y:\\n cmp(x.lower(), y.lower())``. The default value is ``None``.\\n\\n *key* specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract\\n a comparison key from each list element: ``key=str.lower``. The\\n default value is ``None``.\\n\\n *reverse* is a boolean value. If set to ``True``, then the list\\n elements are sorted as if each comparison were reversed.\\n\\n In general, the *key* and *reverse* conversion processes are much\\n faster than specifying an equivalent *cmp* function. This is\\n because *cmp* is called multiple times for each list element while\\n *key* and *reverse* touch each element only once. Use\\n ``functools.cmp_to_key()`` to convert an old-style *cmp* function\\n to a *key* function.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.3: Support for ``None`` as an equivalent to\\n omitting *cmp* was added.\\n\\n Changed in version 2.4: Support for *key* and *reverse* was added.\\n\\n9. Starting with Python 2.3, the ``sort()`` method is guaranteed to be\\n stable. A sort is stable if it guarantees not to change the\\n relative order of elements that compare equal --- this is helpful\\n for sorting in multiple passes (for example, sort by department,\\n then by salary grade).\\n\\n10. **CPython implementation detail:** While a list is being sorted,\\n the effect of attempting to mutate, or even inspect, the list is\\n undefined. The C implementation of Python 2.3 and newer makes the\\n list appear empty for the duration, and raises ``ValueError`` if\\n it can detect that the list has been mutated during a sort.\\n', namespace
