Somehow you've bound the name "string" to a function e.g.

>>> def string():
...  return 'help'
...
>>> string.split('1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'split'

Let that be a lesson to you to never use meaningful variable names ;)
