 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | described in the :ref:`typesseq` section, and also the string-specific methods
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | described in the :ref:`string-methods` section.  To output formatted strings,
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | see the :ref:`string-formatting` section. Also, see the :mod:`re` module for
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | string functions based on regular expressions.
