Hi,
Blargh! Boy! Read the mails! That code you wrote runs fine on 2.6.
But won't run on 3.0.
This should work.
intab = "aeiou"
outtab = "12345"
trantab = str.maketrans(intab,outtab) #Watch this line!
st = "this is string example....wow!!!";
print(st.translate(trantab))
Basically they've moved maketrans from string to str.
Regards,
Sidharth
