.. index:: module: string
Often you'll want more control over the formatting of your output than simply
printing space-separated values. There are two ways to format your output; the
first way is to do all the string handling yourself; using string slicing and
concatenation operations you can create any layout you can imagine. The
standard module :mod:`string` contains some useful operations for padding
string types have some methods that perform useful operations for padding
strings to a given column width; these will be discussed shortly. The second
way is to use the :meth:`str.format` method.
The :mod:`string` module contains a :class:`~string.Template` class which offers
yet another way to substitute values into strings.
One question remains, of course: how do you convert values to strings? Luckily,
Python has ways to convert any value to a string: pass it to the :func:`repr`
or :func:`str` functions.
