And here is how it works:
>>> text = '''defgefabcdefy
effwerbyuuuterrfr'''
>>> im
pats = ['abcdef', 'defgef', 'effwer']
reps = ['highway', 'news', 'monitor']
s = 'defgefabcdefy\n\n\n effwerbyuuuterrfr'
reduce(lambda x,y: x.replace(*y), zip(pats,reps), s)
The reduce() method fairly works well if you have it as a
dictionary as well:
>>> m = {'effwer':
>>> pats = ['abcdef', 'defgef', 'effwer']
>>> reps = ['highway', 'news', 'monitor']
>>> s = 'defgefabcdefy\n\n\n effwerbyuuuterrfr'
>>> reduce(lambda x,y: x.replace(*y), zip(pats,reps), s)
'newshighwayy\n\n\n monitorbyuuuterrfr'

`replace()` does not work in place. You have to bind the result to a name
like::
xdata
