The strop Module
(Obsolete) The strop
is a low-level module that provides fast C
implementations of most functions in the string
module. It is
automatically included by string
, so there’s seldom any
need to access it directly.
However, one reason to use this module is if you need to tweak the path before you start loading Python modules. Example 13-5 demonstrates the module.
Example 13-5. Using the strop Module
File: strop-example-1.py import strop import sys # assuming we have an executable named ".../executable", add a # directory named ".../executable-extra" to the path if strop.lower(sys.executable)[-4:] == ".exe": extra = sys.executable[:-4] # windows else: extra = sys.executable sys.path.insert(0, extra + "-extra") import mymodule
In Python 2.0 and later, you should use string methods instead of
strop
. In Example 13-5, replace
“strop.lower(sys.executable)
” with
“sys.executable.lower()
.”
