# module 'string' -- A collection of string operations

# 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.
