Warning: most of the code you see here isn't normally used nowadays. 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

lowercase -- a string containing all characters considered lowercase letters

uppercase -- a string containing all characters considered uppercase letters
