bytes.strip([chars]) bytearray.strip([chars]) Return a copy of the sequence with specified leading and trailing bytes removed. The chars argument is a binary sequence specifying the set of byte values to be removed - the name refers to the fact this method is usually used with ASCII characters. If omitted or None, the chars argument defaults to removing ASCII whitespace. The chars argument is not a prefix or suffix; rather, all combinations of its values are stripped: >>> b' spacio

bytes.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]]) bytearray.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]]) Return True if the binary data starts with the specified prefix, otherwise return False. prefix can also be a tuple of prefixes to look for. With optional start, test beginning at that position. With optional end, stop comparing at that position. The prefix(es) to search for may be any bytes-like object.

bytes.splitlines(keepends=False) bytearray.splitlines(keepends=False) Return a list of the lines in the binary sequence, breaking at ASCII line boundaries. This method uses the universal newlines approach to splitting lines. Line breaks are not included in the resulting list unless keepends is given and true. For example: >>> b'ab c\n\nde fg\rkl\r\n'.splitlines() [b'ab c', b'', b'de fg', b'kl'] >>> b'ab c\n\nde fg\rkl\r\n'.splitlines(keepends=True) [b'ab c\n', b'\n', b'de fg

bytes.split(sep=None, maxsplit=-1) bytearray.split(sep=None, maxsplit=-1) Split the binary sequence into subsequences of the same type, using sep as the delimiter string. If maxsplit is given and non-negative, at most maxsplit splits are done (thus, the list will have at most maxsplit+1 elements). If maxsplit is not specified or is -1, then there is no limit on the number of splits (all possible splits are made). If sep is given, consecutive delimiters are not grouped together and are deemed

bytes.rstrip([chars]) bytearray.rstrip([chars]) Return a copy of the sequence with specified trailing bytes removed. The chars argument is a binary sequence specifying the set of byte values to be removed - the name refers to the fact this method is usually used with ASCII characters. If omitted or None, the chars argument defaults to removing ASCII whitespace. The chars argument is not a suffix; rather, all combinations of its values are stripped: >>> b' spacious '.rstrip() b'

bytes.rpartition(sep) bytearray.rpartition(sep) Split the sequence at the last occurrence of sep, and return a 3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator, and the part after the separator. If the separator is not found, return a 3-tuple containing a copy of the original sequence, followed by two empty bytes or bytearray objects. The separator to search for may be any bytes-like object.

bytes.rsplit(sep=None, maxsplit=-1) bytearray.rsplit(sep=None, maxsplit=-1) Split the binary sequence into subsequences of the same type, using sep as the delimiter string. If maxsplit is given, at most maxsplit splits are done, the rightmost ones. If sep is not specified or None, any subsequence consisting solely of ASCII whitespace is a separator. Except for splitting from the right, rsplit() behaves like split() which is described in detail below.

bytes.rjust(width[, fillbyte]) bytearray.rjust(width[, fillbyte]) Return a copy of the object right justified in a sequence of length width. Padding is done using the specified fillbyte (default is an ASCII space). For bytes objects, the original sequence is returned if width is less than or equal to len(s). Note The bytearray version of this method does not operate in place - it always produces a new object, even if no changes were made.

bytes.rindex(sub[, start[, end]]) bytearray.rindex(sub[, start[, end]]) Like rfind() but raises ValueError when the subsequence sub is not found. The subsequence to search for may be any bytes-like object or an integer in the range 0 to 255. Changed in version 3.3: Also accept an integer in the range 0 to 255 as the subsequence.

bytes.replace(old, new[, count]) bytearray.replace(old, new[, count]) Return a copy of the sequence with all occurrences of subsequence old replaced by new. If the optional argument count is given, only the first count occurrences are replaced. The subsequence to search for and its replacement may be any bytes-like object. Note The bytearray version of this method does not operate in place - it always produces a new object, even if no changes were made.
