Python AttributeError: module 'string' has no attribute 'maketrans'
maketrans is deprecated in favor of new static methods
The
string.maketrans()function is deprecated and is replaced by new static methods,bytes.maketrans()andbytearray.maketrans(). This change solves the confusion around which types were supported by thestringmodule. Now,str,bytes, andbytearrayeach have their ownmaketransandtranslatemethods with intermediate translation tables of the appropriate type.
You can use dir() to verify that whenever you have this kind of issue:
>>> import string>>>>>> dir(string)['Formatter', 'Template', '_ChainMap', '_TemplateMetaclass', '__all__', '__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__spec__', '_re', '_string', 'ascii_letters', 'ascii_lowercase', 'ascii_uppercase', 'capwords', 'digits', 'hexdigits', 'octdigits', 'printable', 'punctuation', 'whitespace']>>>As you can see, there is no maketrans in the resulted list above.
