Prior to Python 2.0 string-manipulation functionality was in the string
module.
Beginning with Python 2.0 string is a built-in type just like list or int.
The string module still around for backwards compatibility but acts mostly
as a front-end to the new string type.

The string methods that are deprecated and will probably be removed in 3.0
are those from the string module. The built-in string type will always be
part of the language.

Old Way: import string
                a = "Line of 'text' with 'single' quotes"
                b = string.replace(a,"'","")

New Way: b = "Line of 'text' with 'single' quotes".replace("'","")
