Steps to reproduce:

>>> import string
>>> string.letters
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
>>> help(string)
......
>>> string.letters
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'


The help(string) can also be replaced with locale.setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8")

What's happening here is that any call to setlocale() (which help() calls internally) recomputes string.letters. The recomputation flips the order in the current implementation.
