I just ran `pylint` on my code and it shows up this message:

`Uses of a deprecated module 'string'`

I am using the module `string` for join / split mainly.

```
>>> names = ['Pulp', 'Fiction']
>>> import string
>>> fullname = string.join(names)
>>> print fullname
Pulp Fiction

```

Above is an example. In my code I have to make use of `split` and `join` a lot and for that I was using the `string` module. 

Has this been deprecated? If yes, what is the way to handle split/ join in Python 2.6? I have tried searching but I could not find myself being clear so I asked here.
