偶然发现一个python字符串的现象：
>>> a = '123_abc'
>>> b = '123_abc'
>>> a is b
True
>>> c = 'abc#123'
>>> d = 'abc#123'
>>> c is d
False
这是为什么呢，原来它们的id不一样。
>>> id(a) == id(b)
True
>>> id(c) == id(d)
False
那为什么它们的地址有的相同，有的不同呢？查询后得知这是一种 Python 的字符串驻留机制。
字符串驻留机制
也称为字符串常量优化（string interning），是一种在 Python 解释器中自动进行的优化过程。它主要目的是减少内存的使用，提高程序的运行效率。
工作原理
- 小字符串：Python 只会对短小的字符串进行驻留。但是，这个长度并不是固定的，它可能会因 Python 的不同版本或实现而有所不同。
- 字符串池（String Pool）：Python 解释器维护一个字符串池，用于存储所有已经出现过的字符串常量。
- 驻留（Interning）：当解释器遇到一个新的字符串字面量时，它会首先检查这个字符串是否已经存在于字符串池中。如果存在，则直接使用池中的引用；如果不存在，就将这个字符串添加到池中，并返回这个字符串的引用。
- 内存节省：由于相同的字符串字面量在程序中可能被多次使用，通过字符串驻留机制，可以确保这些重复的字符串只存储一次，从而节省内存。
- 性能提升：字符串比较操作可以通过比较它们的引用地址来完成，这比逐字符比较要快得多。因此，字符串驻留可以提高字符串比较的性能。
- 自动和透明：字符串驻留是自动进行的，程序员不需要显式地进行任何操作。Python 解释器会在后台处理这一过程。
- 不可变类型：字符串驻留机制只适用于不可变类型，因为可变类型的对象内容可能会改变，这会使得引用地址比较失去意义。如果字符串可以修改，那么驻留机制可能会导致意外的副作用。
- 限制：字符串驻留机制虽然有诸多好处，但也存在一些限制。例如，如果程序中使用了大量的动态生成的字符串，那么字符串驻留可能不会带来太大的好处，因为这些字符串可能不会被重复使用。
- 字符串字面量：只有当字符串是字面量时，Python 才会尝试进行驻留。通过其他方式（如 str() 函数、字符串拼接等）创建的字符串通常不会被驻留。
- 编译时驻留：字符串驻留是在 Python 源代码编译成字节码时进行的，而不是在运行时。这意味着在运行时动态生成的字符串通常不会被驻留。
显式驻留
Python 提供了一个sys库函数 intern()，允许程序员显式地将一个字符串驻留。使用这个函数可以手动控制字符串的驻留过程：
>>> from sys import intern
>>> s = intern('abc#123')
>>> t = intern('abc#123')
>>> s is t
True
>>> s = 'abc#123'
>>> t = 'abc#123'
>>> s is t
False
>>> a = intern('abc_123')
>>> b = 'abc_123'
>>> a is b
True
字符串长短的分界
小字符串才进行驻留，具体多少长度是界线也没有细查，大概用二分法也能枚举出来。
python
>>> x = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'*100
>>> y = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'*100
>>> x is y
True
>>> x = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'*200
>>> y = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'*200
>>> x is y
False
>>> x = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'*150
>>> y = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'*150
>>> x is y
True
>>> x = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'*175
>>> y = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'*175
>>> x is y
False

cased characters have lower case.
translate(self, table, /)
Replace each character in the string using the given translation table.
table
Translation table, which must be a mapping of Unicode ordinals to
Unicode ordinals, strings, or None.
The table must implement lookup/indexing via getitem, for instance a
dictionary or list. If this operation raises LookupError, the character is
left untouched. Characters mapped to None are deleted.
upper(self, /)
Return a copy of the string converted to uppercase.
zfill(self, width, /)
