I thought this, and went looking. I found on
http://www.python.org/1.6/, about four fifths of the way down:
Changed Modules
string - most of this module is deprecated now that strings have
methods. This no longer uses the built-in strop module, but takes
advantage of the new string methods to provide transparent support
for both Unicode and ordinary strings.
I hope (and believe) this is Wrong.
http://www.python.org/2.0/new-python.html says:
The old string module is still around for backwards compatibility,
but it mostly acts as a front-end to the new string methods.
which is IMHO better.
Cheers,
M.
