Python Language Tutorial => String module's useful constants

Example

Python's string module provides constants for string related operations. To use them, import the string module:

>>> import string

`string.ascii_letters`:

Concatenation of ascii_lowercase and ascii_uppercase:

>>> string.ascii_letters
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

`string.ascii_lowercase`:

Contains all lower case ASCII characters:

>>> string.ascii_lowercase
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

`string.ascii_uppercase`:

Contains all upper case ASCII characters:

>>> string.ascii_uppercase
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

`string.digits`:

Contains all decimal digit characters:

>>> string.digits
'0123456789'

`string.hexdigits`:

Contains all hex digit characters:

>>> string.hexdigits
'0123456789abcdefABCDEF'

`string.octaldigits`:

Contains all octal digit characters:

>>> string.octaldigits
'01234567'

`string.punctuation`:

Contains all characters which are considered punctuation in the C locale:

>>> string.punctuation
'!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~'

`string.whitespace`:

Contains all ASCII characters considered whitespace:

>>> string.whitespace
' \t\n\r\x0b\x0c'

In script mode, print(string.whitespace) will print the actual characters, use str to get the string returned above.

`string.printable`:

Contains all characters which are considered printable; a combination of string.digits, string.ascii_letters, string.punctuation, and string.whitespace.

>>> string.printable
'0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~ \t\n\r\x0b\x0c'
