-
The string
'0123456789'.
-
The string
'0123456789abcdefABCDEF'.
- The concatenation of the strings lowercase and uppercase described below. The specific value is locale-dependent, and will be updated when locale.setlocale() is called.
-
A string containing all the characters that are considered lowercase
letters. On most systems this is the string
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'. Do not change its definition -- the effect on the routines upper() and swapcase() is undefined. The specific value is locale-dependent, and will be updated when locale.setlocale() is called.
-
The string
'01234567'.
- String of ASCII characters which are considered punctuation characters in the "C" locale.
- String of characters which are considered printable. This is a combination of digits, letters, punctuation, and whitespace.
-
A string containing all the characters that are considered uppercase
letters. On most systems this is the string
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'. Do not change its definition -- the effect on the routines lower() and swapcase() is undefined. The specific value is locale-dependent, and will be updated when locale.setlocale() is called.
- A string containing all characters that are considered whitespace. On most systems this includes the characters space, tab, linefeed, return, formfeed, and vertical tab. Do not change its definition -- the effect on the routines strip() and split() is undefined.
