"""
This module contains a set of functions for vectorized string
operations and methods.
.. note::
The `chararray` class exists for backwards compatibility with
Numarray, it is not recommended for new development. Starting from numpy
1.4, if one needs arrays of strings, it is recommended to use arrays of
`dtype` `object_`, `string_` or `unicode_`, and use the free functions
in the `numpy.char` module for fast vectorized string operations.
Some methods will only be available if the corresponding string method is
available in your version of Python.
The preferred alias for `defchararray` is `numpy.char`.

class chararray(ndarray):
"""
chararray(shape, itemsize=1, unicode=False, buffer=None, offset=0,
strides=None, order=None)
Provides a convenient view on arrays of string and unicode values.
.. note::
The `chararray` class exists for backwards compatibility with
Numarray, it is not recommended for new development. Starting from numpy
1.4, if one needs arrays of strings, it is recommended to use arrays of
`dtype` `object_`, `string_` or `unicode_`, and use the free functions
in the `numpy.char` module for fast vectorized string operations.
Versus a regular NumPy array of type `str` or `unicode`, this
class adds the following functionality:
1) values automatically have whitespace removed from the end
when indexed
2) comparison operators automatically remove whitespace from the
end when comparing values
3) vectorized string operations are provided as methods
(e.g. `.endswith`) and infix operators (e.g. ``"+", "*", "%"``)
chararrays should be created using `numpy.char.array` or
`numpy.char.asarray`, rather than this constructor directly.
This constructor creates the array, using `buffer` (with `offset`
and `strides`) if it is not ``None``. If `buffer` is ``None``, then
constructs a new array with `strides` in "C order", unless both
``len(shape) >= 2`` and ``order='Fortran'``, in which case `strides`
is in "Fortran order".

Parameters
----------
shape : tuple
Shape of the array.
itemsize : int, optional
Length of each array element, in number of characters. Default is 1.
unicode : bool, optional
Are the array elements of type unicode (True) or string (False).
Default is False.
buffer : int, optional
Memory address of the start of the array data. Default is None,
in which case a new array is created.
offset : int, optional
Fixed stride displacement from the beginning of an axis?
Default is 0. Needs to be >=0.
strides : array_like of ints, optional
Strides for the array (see `ndarray.strides` for full description).
Default is None.
order : {'C', 'F'}, optional
The order in which the array data is stored in memory: 'C' ->
"row major" order (the default), 'F' -> "column major"
(Fortran) order.

Create a `chararray`.
.. note::
This class is provided for numarray backward-compatibility.
New code (not concerned with numarray compatibility) should use
arrays of type `string_` or `unicode_` and use the free functions
in :mod:`numpy.char <numpy.core.defchararray>` for fast
vectorized string operations instead.
Versus a regular NumPy array of type `str` or `unicode`, this
class adds the following functionality:
1) values automatically have whitespace removed from the end
when indexed
2) comparison operators automatically remove whitespace from the
end when comparing values
3) vectorized string operations are provided as methods
(e.g. `str.endswith`) and infix operators (e.g. ``+, *, %``)
Parameters
----------
obj : array of str or unicode-like
itemsize : int, optional
`itemsize` is the number of characters per scalar in the
resulting array. If `itemsize` is None, and `obj` is an
object array or a Python list, the `itemsize` will be
automatically determined. If `itemsize` is provided and `obj`
is of type str or unicode, then the `obj` string will be
chunked into `itemsize` pieces.
copy : bool, optional
If true (default), then the object is copied. Otherwise, a copy
will only be made if __array__ returns a copy, if obj is a
nested sequence, or if a copy is needed to satisfy any of the other
requirements (`itemsize`, unicode, `order`, etc.).
unicode : bool, optional
When true, the resulting `chararray` can contain Unicode
characters, when false only 8-bit characters. If unicode is
`None` and `obj` is one of the following:
- a `chararray`,
- an ndarray of type `str` or `unicode`
- a Python str or unicode object,
then the unicode setting of the output array will be
automatically determined.
order : {'C', 'F', 'A'}, optional
Specify the order of the array. If order is 'C' (default), then the
array will be in C-contiguous order (last-index varies the
fastest). If order is 'F', then the returned array
will be in Fortran-contiguous order (first-index varies the
fastest). If order is 'A', then the returned array may
be in any order (either C-, Fortran-contiguous, or even
discontiguous).
