"""
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_`, `bytes_` or `str_`, 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`.

    a : array-like of str or unicode

    chars : str or unicode, optional
       The `chars` argument is a string specifying the set of
       characters to be removed. If omitted or None, the `chars`
       argument defaults to removing whitespace. The `chars` argument
       is not a prefix or suffix; rather, all combinations of its
       values are stripped.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray

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_`, `bytes_` or `str_`, 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='F'``, in which case `strides`
    is in "Fortran order".

    Parameters
    ----------
    shape : tuple

    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 : object exposing the buffer interface or str, 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 `bytes_` or `str_` 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
