python - Python中的string方法和str方法有什么区别？

Question

String 是一个模块，str 是一个类型。我发现str是有方法的，str的一些方法和string是一样的。

>>>dir(str)
['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__eq__',
'__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__getnewargs__', 
'__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__',
'__mod__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__',
'__repr__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__',
'__subclasshook__', '_formatter_field_name_split', '_formatter_parser', 
'capitalize', 'center', 'count', 'decode', 'encode', 'endswith', 'expandtabs',
'find', 'format', 'index', 'isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isspace',
'istitle', 'isupper', 'join', 'ljust', 'lower', 'lstrip', 'partition', 'replace',
'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rpartition', 'rsplit', 'rstrip', 'split', 
'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title', 'translate', 'upper',
'zfill']

>>> dir(string)
['Formatter', 'Template', '_TemplateMetaclass', '__builtins__', '__doc__',
'__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '_float', '_idmap', '_idmapL', '_int', 
'_long', '_multimap', '_re', 'ascii_letters', 'ascii_lowercase', 'ascii_uppercase', 
'atof', 'atof_error', 'atoi', 'atoi_error', 'atol', 'atol_error', 'capitalize',   
'capwords', 'center', 'count', 'digits', 'expandtabs', 'find', 'hexdigits', 'index', 
'index_error', 'join', 'joinfields', 'letters', 'ljust', 'lower', 'lowercase',
'lstrip', 'maketrans', 'octdigits', 'printable', 'punctuation', 'replace', 'rfind',
'rindex', 'rjust', 'rsplit', 'rstrip', 'split', 'splitfields', 'strip', 'swapcase', 
'translate', 'upper', 'uppercase', 'whitespace', 'zfill']

这两套方法有什么区别？str 或 string 可以使用彼此的方法吗？

Answer 1

string 现在是一个弃用的模块。您应该始终使用 str 对象。

>>> help(str)
Help on class str in module __builtin__:

class str(basestring)
 |  str(object) -> string
 |  
 |  Return a nice string representation of the object.
 |  If the argument is a string, the return value is the same object.
.
.
>>>help(string)
Help on module string:

NAME
    string - A collection of string operations (most are no longer used).

FILE
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/string.py

MODULE DOCS
    http://docs.python.org/library/string

DESCRIPTION
    Warning: most of the code you see here isn't normally used nowadays.
    Beginning with Python 1.6, many of these functions are implemented as
    methods on the standard string object. They used to be implemented by
    a built-in module called strop, but strop is now obsolete itself.
