You picked out two specific examples as being bad, so I thought I'd

Nothing like that intended here either :)
OTOH, on most forums, lists, boards, etc, I am active, the constant
fear about "flamewars" annoys me somewhat. As long as it doesn't get
insulting, derogative or bull-hea

Hmm, I find the Python documentation just excellent. You are
searching for a *string* related problem? Then just check the

Hey,
Thanks a lot for your answers guys. I had already known that strings are
immutable, but having been a C++ programmer for years I'm still trying to
get over the fact that it's not std::string :) The python documentation
isn't that easy to navigate in my opinion, so I wasn't able to find the

Hi,
I have the following code:
str = "C:/somepath/folder/file.txt"
for char in str:
if char == "\\":
char = "/"
The above doesn't modify the variable 'str' directly. I'm still pretty new
to Python so if someone could explain to me why this isn't working and what
I can do to achieve
