There is no need to import the `string` module to do that. Most of the
`string` module is deprecated.
`str` is the *built-in* type for character strings; so no import is necessary
Also, imports of the form `from X import *` are generally to be avoided.

That should work.

Presumably, at some point you did:
import string
str = string
Or similar, thus shadowing the built-in type. As I said, there's no
need to `import string`, and the `str` type is built-in, so both these
lines are unnecessary.
