str(x: object) -> str
Convert an object into its string representation, if possible.
S.count(sub: str[, start: int[, end: int]]) -> int
Return the number of non-overlapping occurrences of substring sub in
string S[start:end]. Optional arguments start and end are interpreted
as in slice notation.
S.find(sub: str[, i: int]) -> int
Return the lowest index in S (starting at S[i], if i is given) where the
string sub is found or -1 if sub does not occur in S.
S.index(sub: str) -> int
Like find but raises an exception if sub does not occur in S.
S.isalnum() -> bool
Return True if and only if all characters in S are alphanumeric
and there is at least one character in S.
S.isalpha() -> bool
Return True if and only if all characters in S are alphabetic
and there is at least one character in S.
S.isdigit() -> bool
Return True if and only if all characters in S are digits
and there is at least one character in S.

and there is at least one cased character in S.
S.isupper() -> bool
Return True if and only if all cased characters in S are uppercase
and there is at least one cased character in S.
S.lower() -> str
Return a copy of the string S converted to lowercase.
S.lstrip([chars: str]) -> str
Return a copy of the string S with leading whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
S.replace(old: str, new: str) -> str
Return a copy of string S with all occurrences of the string old replaced
with the string new.
S.rstrip([chars: str]) -> str
Return a copy of the string S with trailing whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
S.split([sep: str]) -> list of str
Return a list of the words in S, using string sep as the separator and

Return a copy of S with leading and trailing whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
