def endsInNewline(s): (source)

Returns True if this string ends in a newline.

def greedyWrap(inString, width=80): (source)

Given a string and a column width, return a list of lines.

Caveat: I'm use a stupid greedy word-wrapping algorythm. I won't put two spaces at the end of a sentence. I don't do full justification. And no, I've never even *heard* of hypenation.

def isMultiline(s): (source)

Returns True if this string has a newline in it.

def removeLeadingBlanks(lines): (source)

Undocumented

def removeLeadingTrailingBlanks(s): (source)

Undocumented

def splitQuoted(s): (source)

Like a string split, but don't break substrings inside quotes.

>>> splitQuoted('the "hairy monkey" likes pie')
['the', 'hairy monkey', 'likes', 'pie']

Another one of those "someone must have a better solution for this" things. This implementation is a VERY DUMB hack done too quickly.

def strFile(p, f, caseSensitive=True): (source)

Find whether string p occurs in a read()able object f.

Returns
`bool`	Undocumented

def stringyString(object, indentation=''): (source)

Expansive string formatting for sequence types.

list.__str__ and dict.__str__ use repr() to display their elements. This function also turns these sequence types into strings, but uses str() on their elements instead.

Sequence elements are also displayed on separate lines, and nested sequences have nested indentation.
