"""A collection of string operations (most are no longer used in Python 1.6).

|
|
Warning: most of the code you see here isn't normally used nowadays. With
|
|
Python 1.6, many of these functions are implemented as methods on the
|
|
standard string object. They used to be implemented by a built-in module
|
|
called strop, but strop is now obsolete itself.

|
|
Public module variables:
|
|
|
|
whitespace -- a string containing all characters considered whitespace
|
|
lowercase -- a string containing all characters considered lowercase letters
|
|
uppercase -- a string containing all characters considered uppercase letters
|
|
letters -- a string containing all characters considered letters
|
|
digits -- a string containing all characters considered decimal digits
|
|
hexdigits -- a string containing all characters considered hexadecimal digits
|

octdigits -- a string containing all characters considered octal digits

punctuation -- a string containing all characters considered punctuation
