Python 2.7: replace string object method with obsolete

Question

My "workmates" simply told me that the method of replacing a string object was deprecated and would be deleted at 3.xx.

May I ask you if this is true, why, and if so, how to replace it (with examples)?

Many thanks.

Answer 1

the documentation in 3.2 says nothing that the replace method of type str should be removed. I also see no reason why anyone should do this.

What has been removed is the replace function in the string module .

Example:

"bla".replace("a", "b")

calls the replace method of type str.

string.replace("bla", "a", "b")

calls the string module replacement function.

Answer 2

. :

s = 'test'
string.replace(s, 'est', '')

s.replace('est', '')
