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