title: Can't find split() method or replacement in string module in python 3.4.1?
body: <p>I'm trying some text manipulation stuff out and am bumping into the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>wordlist = string.split(" ")
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'split'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have imported the string module like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import string
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I list the methods available in the string module, split() is not there as expected.</p>
  
  <pre><code>['ChainMap', 'Formatter', 'Template', '_TemplateMetaclass', '__builtins__', 
  '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', 
  '__spec__', '_re', '_string', 'ascii_letters', 'ascii_lowercase', 'ascii_uppercase',
  'capwords', 'digits', 'hexdigits', 'octdigits', 'printable', 'punctuation', 
  'whitespace']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm not sure if this is an error on my end, or if there is a new method for split. How do I split my strings via the whitespace between them?</p>
