字串方法

字串常數

此模組中定義的常數為：

string.ascii_letters

下文描述的 ascii_lowercase 和 ascii_uppercase 常數的串接，該值不依賴於區域設定。

string.ascii_lowercase

小寫字母 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'。該值與地區設定無關且不會改變。

string.ascii_uppercase

大寫字母 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'。此值與地區設定無關且不會改變。

string.digits

字串 '0123456789'。

string.hexdigits

字串 '0123456789abcdefABCDEF'。

string.octdigits

字串 '01234567'。

string.punctuation

在 C 語言中被視為標點符號的 ASCII 字元的字串：!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~。

string.printable

ASCII 字元的字串被 Python 是為可被列印輸出的。這是 digits、ascii_letters、punctuation 和 whitespace 的組合。

備註

By design, string.printable.isprintable() returns False. In particular, string.printable is not printable in the POSIX sense (see LC_CTYPE).

string.whitespace

包含所有 ASCII 字元的字串都視為空白字元 (whitespace)。 包含空格 (space)、製表符號 (tab)、換行符號 (linefeed)、return、換頁符號 (formfeed) 和垂直製表符號 (vertical tab) 這些字元。

自訂字串格式

透過 PEP 3101 中描述的 format() 方法，內建字串類別提供了進行複雜變數替換和數值格式化的能力。string 模組中的 Formatter 類別模組可讓你使用與內建 format() 方法相同的實作來建立和自訂你自己的字串格式化行為。

class string.Formatter

Formatter 類別有以下的公開方法：

format(format_string, /, *args, **kwargs)

主要的 API 方法。它接收一個格式字串及一組任意的位置引數與關鍵字引數，是呼叫 vformat() 的包裝器 (wrapper)。

在 3.7 版的變更: 現在格式字串引數是僅限位置參數。

vformat(format_string, args, kwargs)

This function does the actual work of formatting. It is exposed as a separate function for cases where you want to pass in a predefined dictionary of arguments, rather than unpacking and repacking the dictionary as individual arguments using the *args and **kwargs syntax. vformat() does the work of breaking up the format string into character data and replacement fields. It calls the various methods described below.

In addition, the Formatter defines a number of methods that are intended to be replaced by subclasses:

parse(format_string)

將 format_string 放入迴圈，並回傳一個可疊代物件，其元素為 (literal_text, field_name, format_spec, conversion)。這會被 vformat() 用於將字串裁切為字面文本或替換欄位。

The values in the tuple conceptually represent a span of literal text followed by a single replacement field. If there is no literal text (which can happen if two replacement fields occur consecutively), then literal_text will be a zero-length string. If there is no replacement field, then the values of field_name, format_spec and conversion will be None. The value of field_name is unmodified and auto-numbering of non-numbered positional fields is done by vformat().

get_field(field_name, args, kwargs)

Given field_name, convert it to an object to be formatted. Auto-numbering of field_name returned from parse() is done by vformat() before calling this method. Returns a tuple (obj, used_key). The default version takes strings of the form defined in PEP 3101, such as "0[name]" or "label.title". args and kwargs are as passed in to vformat(). The return value used_key has the same meaning as the key parameter to get_value().

get_value(key, args, kwargs)

Retrieve a given field value. The key argument will be either an integer or a string. If it is an integer, it represents the index of the positional argument in args; if it is a string, then it represents a named argument in kwargs.

The args parameter is set to the list of positional arguments to vformat(), and the kwargs parameter is set to the dictionary of keyword arguments.

For compound field names, these functions are only called for the first component of the field name; subsequent components are handled through normal attribute and indexing operations.

So for example, the field expression '0.name' would cause get_value() to be called with a key argument of 0. The name attribute will be looked up after get_value() returns by calling the built-in getattr() function.

If the index or keyword refers to an item that does not exist, then an IndexError or KeyError should be raised.

check_unused_args(used_args, args, kwargs)

Implement checking for unused arguments if desired. The arguments to this function is the set of all argument keys that were actually referred to in the format string (integers for positional arguments, and strings for named arguments), and a reference to the args and kwargs that was passed to vformat. The set of unused args can be calculated from these parameters. check_unused_args() is assumed to raise an exception if the check fails.

format_field(value, format_spec)

format_field() simply calls the global format() built-in. The method is provided so that subclasses can override it.

convert_field(value, conversion)

Converts the value (returned by get_field()) given a conversion type (as in the tuple returned by the parse() method). The default version understands 's' (str), 'r' (repr) and 'a' (ascii) conversion types.

格式化文字語法

The str.format() method and the Formatter class share the same syntax for format strings (although in the case of Formatter, subclasses can define their own format string syntax). The syntax is related to that of
