4.1.3 String functions
The following functions are available to operate on string and Unicode objects. They are not available as string methods.
- Split the argument into words using split(), capitalize each word using capitalize(), and join the capitalized words using join(). Note that this replaces runs of whitespace characters by a single space, and removes leading and trailing whitespace.
-
Return a translation table suitable for passing to
translate() or regex.compile(), that will map
each character in from into the character at the same position
in to; from and to must have the same length.
Warning: Don't use strings derived from lowercase and uppercase as arguments; in some locales, these don't have the same length. For case conversions, always use lower() and upper().
