Hello Janusch,

please note I am not a CPython expert. Nonetheless the Jython session
below might give you some hints:

Jython 2.1 on java1.3.0 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> dir("String")
[]
>>> dir("string")
[]
>>> dir("any text")
[]
>>> import string
>>> dir(string)
['_StringType', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '_apply', '_float',
'_idmap', '_idmapL', '_int', '_long', 'atof', 'atof_error', 'atoi',
'atoi_error', 'atol', 'atol_error', 'capitalize', 'capwords', 'center',
'count', 'digits', 'expandtabs', 'find', 'hexdigits', 'index',
'index_error', 'join', 'joinfields', 'letters', 'ljust', 'lower',
'lowercase', 'lstrip', 'maketrans', 'octdigits', 'replace', 'rfind',
'rindex', 'rjust', 'rstrip', 'split', 'splitfields', 'strip',
'swapcase', 'translate', 'upper', 'uppercase', 'whitespace', 'zfill']
>>> from java.lang import String
>>> dir(String)
['CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER', 'bytes', 'charAt', 'compareTo',
'compareToIgnoreCase', 'concat', 'copyValueOf', 'endsWith',
'equalsIgnoreCase', 'getBytes', 'getChars', 'indexOf', 'intern',
'lastIndexOf', 'length', 'regionMatches', 'replace', 'startsWith',
'substring', 'toCharArray', 'toLowerCase', 'toUpperCase', 'trim',
'valueOf']
>>> dir( string.__class__ )
['__delattr__', '__dict__', '__findattr__', '__setattr__', 'toString']
>>> 

Best wishes,
Oti.
