A buggy PyLint is passing on bad (obsolete, deprecated ;-) info: In 3.1

 >>> import string
 >>> dir(string)
['Formatter', 'Template', '_TemplateMetaclass', '__builtins__', 
'__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '_multimap', '_re', 
'ascii_letters', 'ascii_lowercase', 'ascii_uppercase', 'capwords', 
'digits', 'hexdigits', 'maketrans', 'octdigits', 'printable', 
'punctuation', 'whitespace']
