Documentation Question About Depricated String Functions

[Hitesh]

Hi,

In python doc -- 4.1.4 Deprecated string functions -- I read that "The
following list of functions are also defined as methods of string and
Unicode objects; see ``String Methods'' (section 2.3.6) for more
information on those. You should consider these functions as
deprecated, although they will not be removed until Python 3.0. The
functions defined in this module are: " and there is a whole list of
functions. If these functions are deprecated what is the replacement
for them? I couldn't find that info in the doc. Any links will be
helpful.

Thank you,

You did find the info in the doc - you quoted it above:

The functions are deprecated: use the string methods (see section 2.3.6)
instead.

"The following list of functions are also defined as methods of string

information on those."

i.e. string.lower() => "WHAT?".lower() (would return "what?"...)
