     8 The modules described in this chapter provide a wide range of string

     9 manipulation operations.

    10 

    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.
