str.isidentifier() Return true if the string is a valid identifier according to the language definition, section Identifiers and keywords. Use keyword.iskeyword() to test for reserved identifiers such as def and class.

str.islower() Return true if all cased characters [4] in the string are lowercase and there is at least one cased character, false otherwise.

str.isdigit() Return true if all characters in the string are digits and there is at least one character, false otherwise. Digits include decimal characters and digits that need special handling, such as the compatibility superscript digits. Formally, a digit is a character that has the property value Numeric_Type=Digit or Numeric_Type=Decimal.

str.isdecimal() Return true if all characters in the string are decimal characters and there is at least one character, false otherwise. Decimal characters are those from general category “Nd”. This category includes digit characters, and all characters that can be used to form decimal-radix numbers, e.g. U+0660, ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ZERO.

str.isalpha() Return true if all characters in the string are alphabetic and there is at least one character, false otherwise. Alphabetic characters are those characters defined in the Unicode character database as “Letter”, i.e., those with general category property being one of “Lm”, “Lt”, “Lu”, “Ll”, or “Lo”. Note that this is different from the “Alphabetic” property defined in the Unicode Standard.

str.format_map(mapping) Similar to str.format(**mapping), except that mapping is used directly and not copied to a dict. This is useful if for example mapping is a dict subclass: >>> class Default(dict): ... def __missing__(self, key): ... return key ... >>> '{name} was born in {country}'.format_map(Default(name='Guido')) 'Guido was born in country' New in version 3.2.

str.index(sub[, start[, end]]) Like find(), but raise ValueError when the substring is not found.

str.isalnum() Return true if all characters in the string are alphanumeric and there is at least one character, false otherwise. A character c is alphanumeric if one of the following returns True: c.isalpha(), c.isdecimal(), c.isdigit(), or c.isnumeric().

str.find(sub[, start[, end]]) Return the lowest index in the string where substring sub is found within the slice s[start:end]. Optional arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation. Return -1 if sub is not found. Note The find() method should be used only if you need to know the position of sub. To check if sub is a substring or not, use the in operator: >>> 'Py' in 'Python' True

str.expandtabs(tabsize=8) Return a copy of the string where all tab characters are replaced by one or more spaces, depending on the current column and the given tab size. Tab positions occur every tabsize characters (default is 8, giving tab positions at columns 0, 8, 16 and so on). To expand the string, the current column is set to zero and the string is examined character by character. If the character is a tab (\t), one or more space characters are inserted in the result until the current
