How does Python execute something like the following
oldPhrase="My dog has fleas on his knees"
newPhrase=oldPhrase.replace("fleas",
"wrinkles").replace("knees","face")Does it do two iterations of the replace method on the initial and then an intermediate string (my guess) -- or does it compile to something more efficient (I doubt it, unless it's Christmas in Pythonville... but I thought I'd query) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
