[Tutor] Whitespace

I assume you mean the string.whitespace predefined sequence?
Its used for testing whether something is a whitespace 
charater or not:

while str[i] not in string.whitespace: i += 1

will find the first whitespace char in str.

Nope, its a variable not a function.
Rather like string.numbers, string.punctuation, 
uppercase, lowercase etc.

See above.
