From __init__.py:

Class FoldedCase A case insensitive string class; behaves just like str except compares equal when the only variation is case.
Class SeparatedValues A string separated by a separator. Overrides __iter__ for getting the values.
Class Splitter object that will split a string with the given arguments for each call
Class Stripper Given a series of lines, find the common prefix and strip it from them.
Class WordSet Given an identifier, return the words that identifier represents, whether in camel case, underscore-separated, etc.
Function drop_comment Drop comments.
Function indent >>> indent('foo') ' foo'
Function is_binary Return True if the value appears to be binary (that is, it's a byte string and isn't decodable).
Function is_decodable Return True if the supplied value is decodable (using the default encoding).
Function join_continuation Join lines continued by a trailing backslash.
Function multi_substitution Take a sequence of pairs specifying substitutions, and create a function that performs those substitutions.
Function normalize_newlines Replace alternate newlines with the canonical newline.
Function remove_prefix Remove the prefix from the text if it exists.
Function remove_suffix Remove the suffix from the text if it exists.
Function simple_html_strip Remove HTML from the string `s`.
Function substitution Return a function that will perform a substitution on a string
Function trim Trim something like a docstring to remove the whitespace that is common due to indentation and formatting.
Function unwrap Given a multi-line string, return an unwrapped version.
Function wrap Wrap lines of text, retaining existing newlines as paragraph markers.
Function yield_lines Yield valid lines of a string or iterable.
