Python string class like StringBuilder in C#?

Is there some string class in Python like StringBuilder in C#?
There is no one-to-one correlation. For a really good article please see Efficient String Concatenation in Python: Building long strings in the Python progamming language can sometimes result in very slow running code. In this article I investigate the computational performance of various string concatenation methods. TLDR the fastest method is below. It's extremely compact, and also pretty understandable: def method6(): return ''.join([`num` for num in xrange(loop_count)])
