Do you mean string methods, or the string module? :) FWIW, I agree that in time, the string module should be deprecated. But I also think that 'in time' should be a considerable timespan. Don't deprecate it before everything it provides is available though some other means. Wait a bit longer than that, even, before calling it deprecated -- that scares people off. And then keep it for practically forever (until Py3K) just to support old code. And don't forget to document it 'deprecated' everywhere, not just one minor release note. -- Thomas Wouters <[email protected]> Hi!
