True when Greg wrote it, but strop is now depecrated, and not necessarily builtin. It's still the best route, because strop has no dependencies, while string does.
Have a look at the code. It no longer import strop -- it uses string methods now. :-) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
