Help in string.digits functions

[Anoop]

Hi All

Thankyou verymuch for ur inputs.

Hope u might have come across the string deprecation thought of in
Python 3.0 as a result of which we need to use all of these as some
objects

For example : string.lower(str) needs to be some thing like
str.lower().

Can u tell me whether such a change in the common python would require
these string.digits to be changed. If so wat would be ur suggestions

Thanks and regards

Anoop
