Initial Comment:
In 21.2.1 Background, details, hints, tips and caveats; we have the following 
paragraph:

The case conversion functions in the string module are affected by the locale 
settings. When a call to the setlocale() function changes the LC_CTYPE 
settings, the variables string.lowercase, string.uppercase and string.letters 
are recalculated. Note that this code that uses these variable through `from 
... import ...', e.g. from string import letters, is not affected by subsequent 
setlocale() calls.

I can't make sense of the last sentence unless I pretend that "this" shouldn't 
be there, i.e.  Note that code that uses these variable(s?) through `from ... 
(...).

Kind regards,
Alf Lervåg
