String utilities missing in the standard library, or complementing it nicely.

add_suffix

Imagine naming files for multiple versions of a report with a consistent way to append version identifiers:

manual.py

report_name = "Q1_financials"
version = "v2"

if version:
    final_name = report_name + "_" + version
else:
    final_name = report_name

print(final_name)
# "Q1_financials_v2"

This logic appears simple, but repetition across the codebase leads to inconsistency, unnecessary branching, and cluttered string operations.

Use UtilsX to streamline suffix construction:

with_utilsx.py

from utilsx import add_suffix

report_name = "Q1_financials"
version = "v2"

final_name = add_suffix(report_name, version)

print(final_name)
# "Q1_financials_v2"

You can also change the separator:

add_suffix("client", "archived", separator="-")
# "client-archived"
