|  |  | 
|  | The modules described in this chapter provide a wide range of string | 
|  | manipulation operations and other text processing services. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The :mod:`codecs` module described under :ref:`binaryservices` is also | 
|  | highly relevant to text processing. In addition, see the documentation for | 
|  | Python's built-in string type in :ref:`textseq`. |
