I think this advice is being a little overstated in this thread. The string module itself is not deprecated. Many functions in the string module are also available as methods of a string. These functions are deprecated. You can see a list here: http://docs.python.org/lib/node42.html There is nothing wrong with using the constants defined in the string module such as string.ascii_letters. Template strings (http://docs.python.org/lib/node40.html) were actually *added* to the string module in Python 2.4. capwords() and maketrans() are available only in the string module, not available as string methods.
