Huh?

Again: the string module is not deprecated. It simply is not.

Certain functions in it were deprecated.  Those were clearly marked in the
documentation as deprecated -- since 2.0-ish if memory serves, if not that
early, then not too long into 2.x.

Those deprecated functions have been removed as of 3.x.

If pylint is reporting the entire module is deprecated, pylint is wrong. Its
not deprecated.
