 | The modules described in this chapter provide a wide range of string | 
 | manipulation operations. | 
 |  | 
 | In addition, Python's built-in string classes support the sequence type | 
 | methods described in the :ref:`typesseq` section, and also the | 
 | string-specific methods described in the :ref:`string-methods` section. | 
 | To output formatted strings use template strings or the ``%`` operator | 
 | described in the :ref:`string-formatting` section. Also, see the | 
 | :mod:`re` module for string functions based on regular expressions. |
