It means that you're trying to access the attribute 'letters' on a
module that doesn't have that attribute.

You need to find what the value of 'string' is at that point in the
code. If I had to guess, I would say the person who wrote the above
line was expecting 'string' to be bound to the Python standard library
module 'string'; but that the code you have binds that name to some
other module.
