\item[regex]
--- Regular expression search and match operations.

\item[regsub]
--- Substitution and splitting operations that use regular expressions.

\item[struct]
--- Interpret strings as packed binary data.

\item[StringIO]
--- Read and write strings as if they were files.

\item[cStringIO]
--- Faster version of \module{StringIO}, but not subclassable.
