rjust(width[, fillchar])	Return a right-justified string of length width.
rpartition(sep, /)	Partition the string into three parts using the given separator.
rsplit([sep, maxsplit])	Return a list of the words in the string, using sep as the delimiter string.
rstrip([chars])	Return a copy of the string with trailing whitespace removed.
split([sep, maxsplit])	Return a list of the words in the string, using sep as the delimiter string.
splitlines([keepends])	Return a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line boundaries.
startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])	Return True if S starts with the specified prefix, False otherwise.
strip([chars])	Return a copy of the string with leading and trailing whitespace removed.
