    Formatting methods for specific types are implemented as methods with a name
    based on the type name.  In the method name, **TYPE** is replaced by
-   ``string.join(string.split(type(obj).__name__, '_'))``. Dispatch to these
+   ``'_'.join(type(obj).__name__.split())``. Dispatch to these
    methods is handled by :meth:`repr1`. Type-specific methods which need to
    recursively format a value should call ``self.repr1(subobj, level - 1)``.
