Not sure really. But if you want to pass a some data around that can be manipulated "in place" as it were, say in a function, then yes it must be either a mutable object like a list or a dictionary, or you can wrap up your data in a class and manipulate it via an instance of that class that you pass around. You can do the same thing in a module too, actually, which is a form of singleton. Another solution is just to have a function return a new cooked string, based on a raw string passed in as a parameter. Perhaps if you explained more clearly your end goal, people could suggest ideas in accomplishing it in a way that works well in Python. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
