Not true.  Until strings have _all_ the methods in the strings module, we'll
still need it:

In [8]: import string

In [9]: s='abc'

In [10]: string.zfill(s,9)
Out[10]: '000000abc'

In [11]: s.zfill(9)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

?

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'zfill'


Best,
