then I have a problem.

Im following this book : http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/
which is the first link  in the beginners tutorial page.

And it's talking about the string modules.

So it is which is quite bizarre since it is using Python 2.5!

The string module is deprecated and in Python v3 has had most of the
functions removed. Do not use ther string module functions, use the string
methods instead. It is usually a simple translation from

string.function(aString, other args...)

to

aString.method(otherargs...)

You can check the documentation for the string methods using

help(str)

I don't want to put you off the tutorial because it is quite a good tutor, but I never noticed it was still promoting the use of the string module
before - very odd!
