The pylint error is misleading. The string module is not deprecated; all of
the string methods that used to be in it, but are now methods of strings

So instead of lower(your_string), you do your_string.lower().

The constants aren't deprecated (and a couple things have been added to the
module recently, such as the Formatter class).
