Confirmation: In [1]:import string In [2]:string.letters Out[2]:'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' In [3]:import locale In [4]:locale.getpreferredencoding () Out[4]:'UTF-8' In [5]:string.letters Out[5]:'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' The lesson seems to be that the only proper use for string.letters is for testing membership, in which case the order does not matter.
