One caveat (only for the string module), quoting from the above document,
but easily overlooked:

"Many of the functions provided by this module are also defined as methods
of string and Unicode objects; see ``String Methods'' (section 2.2.6) for
more information on those." 

So whenever you're tempted to write string.somefunc(s, moreargs), rather use
s.somefunc(moreargs).
