"""
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`.
