Some of the functions in module string are being deprecated in favor of
new methods on the str type itself.  The digits variable of the string
module is just a string of the '0123456789' digits.  It's unlikely to
be deprecated since it doesn't make much sense to make it an attribute
of the str type.

Also, to answer another question of yours, observe:

|>> import string
|>> for ch in string.digits:
...     print ch
...

the form "for var in string:" simply assigns each character (string of
length one, technically) in the string to the var variable at each
iteration.

(BTW, "ur" is "your" and "u" is "you".  I'm sorry to nitpick, but it's
a personal idiosyncrasy of mine to be bothered by such.)
