> The standard module string contains some useful operations for padding strings to a given column width; these will be discussed shortly.

The document uses str.rjust, ljust, zfill methods and not use string module
for padding.

That sentence should be changed to mention the str method rather than the deprecated functions in the string module.
(The methods' names after the example should also link to the right str.method
