As it says at the top of that page,
The following list of functions are also defined as methods of string and
Unicode objects; see ``String Methods'' (section 2.3.6) for more
information on those. You should consider these functions as deprecated,
although they will not be removed until Python 3.0.
The methods of string and Unicode objects are not deprecated. It's
just the redundant _functions_ in the string module that are
deprecated.
Historically, the functions in the string module existed long before
strings and Unicode objects had any methods. Now that string and
Unicode objects do have methods, the functions in the string module
are no longer needed.
