I get:

>>> str.lower(str(), 'A')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: lower() takes no arguments (1 given)

if you meant to write

>>> str.lower('A')
'a'

it's because "str" is the class that implements methods for the "str" type,
and, for an instance I of the class C:

    I.method()

and

    C.method(I)

are, in general, the same thing in Python
