Wierd problem with replace

Hello,
I've this code:

print "Login1:", login
login.replace(" @","_")
print "Login2:", login

Which produces this output:

Login1: tester@root
Login2: tester@root

Why is Login2 still tester@root and not tester_root? I thought that I've
replaced the @ with _??

Thx,
Florian

Trying it at the command line might be instructive:
login = 'tester@root'
print "Login1:", login Login1: tester@root login.replace(" @", "_") 'tester_root' login

'tester@root'

Strings are immutable. The call to replace() does not modify
the original string, but returns a new one. You'll see similar
behaviour with other string methods (or any methods on immutables).

Florian,
x = "tester@roo t"
y = x.replace("@"," _")
print y

tester_root
