Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

In rc3 also: The problem is partial update:

DESCRIPTION
    Public module variables:
    
    whitespace -- a string containing all characters considered whitespace
    lowercase -- a string containing all characters considered lowercase
letters
    uppercase -- a string containing all characters considered uppercase
letters
    letters -- a string containing all characters considered letters
...
DATA
    ascii_letters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
    ascii_lowercase = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    ascii_uppercase = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

The latter is indeed correct:
>>> dir(string)
[..., 'ascii_letters', 'ascii_lowercase', 'ascii_uppercase', ...]
