IncrementalEncoder
encode(self, input, final=False)
getstate(self)
Return the current state of the encoder.
reset(self)
Resets the encoder to the initial state.

Set the current state of the encoder. state must have been
returned by getstate().
StreamReader
seek.str
str(object='') -> str
str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str
Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or
errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer
that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler.
Otherwise, returns the result of object.__str__() (if defined)
or repr(object).
encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding().
errors defaults to 'strict'.
capitalize(self, /)
Return a capitalized version of the string.
More specifically, make the first character have upper case and the rest lower
case.
casefold(self, /)
Return a version of the string suitable for caseless comparisons.
center(self, width, fillchar=' ', /)
Return a centered string of length width.
Padding is done using the specified fill character (default is a space).
count(...)
S.count(sub[, start[, end]]) -> int
Return the number of non-overlapping occurrences of substring sub in
string S[start:end]. Optional arguments start and end are
interpreted as in slice notation.
encode(self, /, encoding='utf-8', errors='strict')
Encode the string using the codec registered for encoding.
encoding
The encoding in which to encode the string.
errors
The error handling scheme to use for encoding errors.
The default is 'strict' meaning that encoding errors raise a
UnicodeEncodeError. Other possible values are 'ignore', 'replace' and
'xmlcharrefreplace' as well as any other name registered with
codecs.register_error that can handle UnicodeEncodeErrors.
endswith(...)
S.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]]) -> bool
Return True if S ends with the specified suffix, False otherwise.

lstrip(self, chars=None, /)
Return a copy of the string with leading whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
maketrans(...)
Return a translation table usable for str.translate().
If there is only one argument, it must be a dictionary mapping Unicode
ordinals (integers) or characters to Unicode ordinals, strings or None.
Character keys will be then converted to ordinals.
If there are two arguments, they must be strings of equal length, and
in the resulting dictionary, each character in x will be mapped to the
character at the same position in y. If there is a third argument, it
must be a string, whose characters will be mapped to None in the result.
partition(self, sep, /)
Partition the string into three parts using the given separator.
This will search for the separator in the string. If the separator is found,
returns a 3-tuple containing the part before the separator, the separator
itself, and the part after it.
If the separator is not found, returns a 3-tuple containing the original string
and two empty strings.
removeprefix(self, prefix, /)
Return a str with the given prefix string removed if present.
If the string starts with the prefix string, return string[len(prefix):].
Otherwise, return a copy of the original string.

string.
replace(self, old, new, count=-1, /)
Return a copy with all occurrences of substring old replaced by new.
count
Maximum number of occurrences to replace.
-1 (the default value) means replace all occurrences.
If the optional argument count is given, only the first count occurrences are
replaced.
rfind(...)
S.rfind(sub[, start[, end]]) -> int
Return the highest index in S where substring sub is found,
such that sub is contained within S[start:end]. Optional
arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation.
Return -1 on failure.

arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation.
Raises ValueError when the substring is not found.
rjust(self, width, fillchar=' ', /)
Return a right-justified string of length width.
Padding is done using the specified fill character (default is a space).
rpartition(self, sep, /)
Partition the string into three parts using the given separator.
This will search for the separator in the string, starting at the end. If
the separator is found, returns a 3-tuple containing the part before the
separator, the separator itself, and the part after it.
If the separator is not found, returns a 3-tuple containing two empty strings
and the original string.
rsplit(self, /, sep=None, maxsplit=-1)
Return a list of the substrings in the string, using sep as the separator string.
sep
The separator used to split the string.
When set to None (the default value), will split on any whitespace
character (including \\n \\r \\t \\f and spaces) and will discard
empty strings from the result.
maxsplit
Maximum number of splits (starting from the left).
-1 (the default value) means no limit.
Splitting starts at the end of the string and works to the front.
rstrip(self, chars=None, /)
Return a copy of the string with trailing whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
split(self, /, sep=None, maxsplit=-1)
Return a list of the substrings in the string, using sep as the separator string.
sep
The separator used to split the string.
When set to None (the default value), will split on any whitespace
character (including \\n \\r \\t \\f and spaces) and will discard
empty strings from the result.
maxsplit
Maximum number of splits (starting from the left).
-1 (the default value) means no limit.
Note, str.split() is mainly useful for data that has been intentionally
delimited. With natural text that includes punctuation, consider using
the regular expression module.
splitlines(self, /, keepends=False)
Return a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line boundaries.
Line breaks are not included in the resulting list unless keepends is given and
true.
startswith(...)
S.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]]) -> bool
Return True if S starts with the specified prefix, False otherwise.
With optional start, test S beginning at that position.
With optional end, stop comparing S at that position.
prefix can also be a tuple of strings to try.
strip(self, chars=None, /)
Return a copy of the string with leading and trailing whitespace removed.
If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.
swapcase(self, /)
Convert uppercase characters to lowercase and lowercase characters to uppercase.
title(self, /)
Return a version of the string where each word is titlecased.
More specifically, words start with uppercased characters and all remaining
cased characters have lower case.
translate(self, table, /)
Replace each character in the string using the given translation table.
table
Translation table, which must be a mapping of Unicode ordinals to
Unicode ordinals, strings, or None.
The table must implement lookup/indexing via __getitem__, for instance a
dictionary or list. If this operation raises LookupError, the character is
left untouched. Characters mapped to None are deleted.
upper(self, /)
Return a copy of the string converted to uppercase.
zfill(self, width, /)
Pad a numeric string with zeros on the left, to fill a field of the given width.
The string is never truncated.
utf_8_decode(data, errors=None, final=False, /)
encode(self, input, errors='strict')
Encodes the object input and returns a tuple (output
object, length consumed).
errors defines the error handling to apply. It defaults to
'strict' handling.
The method may not store state in the Codec instance. Use
StreamWriter for codecs which have to keep state in order to
make encoding efficient.
The encoder must be able to handle zero length input and
return an empty object of the output object type in this
situation.
read(self, size=-1, chars=-1, firstline=False)
Decodes data from the stream self.stream and returns the
resulting object.
chars indicates the number of decoded code points or bytes to
return. read() will never return more data than requested,
but it might return less, if there is not enough available.
size indicates the approximate maximum number of decoded
bytes or code points to read for decoding. The decoder
can modify this setting as appropriate. The default value
-1 indicates to read and decode as much as possible. size
is intended to prevent having to decode huge files in one
step.
If firstline is true, and a UnicodeDecodeError happens
after the first line terminator in the input only the first line
will be returned, the rest of the input will be kept until the
next call to read().
The method should use a greedy read strategy, meaning that
it should read as much data as is allowed within the
definition of the encoding and the given size, e.g. if
optional encoding endings or state markers are available
on the stream, these should be read too.
readline(self, size=None, keepends=True)
Read one line from the input stream and return the
decoded data.
size, if given, is passed as size argument to the
read() method.
readlines(self, sizehint=None, keepends=True)
Read all lines available on the input stream
and return them as a list.
Line breaks are implemented using the codec's decoder
method and are included in the list entries.
sizehint, if given, is ignored since there is no efficient
way to finding the true end-of-line.
reset(self)
Resets the codec buffers used for keeping internal state.
Note that no stream repositioning should take place.
This method is primarily intended to be able to recover
from decoding errors.
seek(self, offset, whence=0)
Set the input stream's current position.
Resets the codec buffers used for keeping state.
StreamWriter
decode(self, input, errors='strict')
Decodes the object input and returns a tuple (output
object, length consumed).
input must be an object which provides the bf_getreadbuf
buffer slot. Python strings, buffer objects and memory
mapped files are examples of objects providing this slot.
errors defines the error handling to apply. It defaults to
'strict' handling.
The method may not store state in the Codec instance. Use
StreamReader for codecs which have to keep state in order to
make decoding efficient.
The decoder must be able to handle zero length input and
return an empty object of the output object type in this
situation.
utf_8_encode(str, errors=None, /)
reset(self)
Resets the codec buffers used for keeping internal state.
Calling this method should ensure that the data on the
output is put into a clean state, that allows appending
of new fresh data without having to rescan the whole
stream to recover state.
seek(self, offset, whence=0)
write(self, object)
Writes the object's contents encoded to self.stream.
writelines(self, list)
Writes the concatenated list of strings to the stream
using .write().
