In the [IMPORTS] section, there is a line: deprecated-modules=regsub,string,TERMIOS,Bastion,rexec So if you edit this line to remove string, the warning will not be made. Although I find that most of the default pylint settings are eminently sensible, and wouldn't remove string from the deprecated modules myself. I find pylint (and pychecker) to be invaluable.
