safe_ascii(s)

source code 

Casts a Unicode string to a regular ASCCII string. This may be lossy.

cp1252_to_unicode(x)

source code 

Converts characters 0x80 through 0x9f to their proper Unicode equivalents. See http://www.intertwingly.net/stories/2004/04/14/i18n.html for the nice translation table on which this is based.

unwrap(s)

source code 

Joins a bunch of lines. s is either a single string (which will be split on newlines into a list of strings) or a list of strings (representing lines).

indent(s, ind=' ')

source code 

Prefixes each line in s with ind. s can be either a string (which will be broken up into a list of lines) or a list of strings (treated as lines). Returns a single (indented) string.

unindent(text, amt=None)

source code 

If amt is 0, removes all leading whitespace from each line in text. If amt is None, finds the smallest amount of leading whitespace on any non-empty line and removes that many chars from each line. If amt is positive, removes amt chars from each line.

html2unicode(text)

source code 

Sort of a cgi.unescape (doesn't exist). Removes HTML or XML character references and entities from a text string.

nat_lang_join(xs, last_glue, two_glue=None, glue=', ')

source code 

Natural-language join. Join a sequence of strings together into a comma-separated list, but where the last pair is joined with the given special glue. (You may also override the non-last glue, which defaults to a ', '.)

Parameters:
  • xs - The sequence of strings. This must be a list-like sequence, not a generated one.
  • last_glue - The string used to join the final pair of elements, when there are more than two elements.
  • two_glue - The string used to join both elements in a 2-element sequence. Defaults to None, which means to use last_glue.
  • glue - The string used to join all the other elements.
