To be honest, I have never understood the repeated proposals to get rid of the string module. Get rid of the functions that are just duplicates of str methods, sure, but the module makes sense to me as a home for text related constants and other machinery (such as string.Template and the various building blocks for more advanced PEP 3101 based formatting).
Agreed. I see no need to add another name to the stdlib as a place to store those values, and placing them on str doesn't seem particularly attractive (especially for 2.x).
