While most of the functions in the string module are obsoleted by the
methods on strings, I still find the constants useful to save myself
from my own inability to type, possibly omitting letters from the
alphabet or doubling them up.  I'd much rather just reference
string.printable than try to recreate it (or its kin) myself.
