I have an array(?) (sorry, I'm new* to python so I'm probably mangling the terminology) that looks like this:
[((1028L, datetime.datetime(2006, 5, 30, 7, 0), datetime.datetime(2006, 5, 30, 7, 30), 'Arthur', 'Prunella Sees the Light; Return of the Snowball', 'Prunella prepares for a sleepover with Marina; D.W. protects a snowball.', 'Children', 'tooth.seiner.lan', None, 0L, None, 1L, 1L, 'Default', 9L, 'SH044107', 'EP0441070123', datetime.datetime(2006, 5, 30, 7, 31, 24), 1164179392L, 0.0, 1, datetime.date(2002, 11, 28), 0, 0L, 0),), ((1028L, datetime.datetime(2006, 5, 4, 10, 0), datetime.datetime(2006, 5, 4, 10, 30), 'Bob the Builder', 'Using Clues', '', 'Children', 'tooth.seiner.lan', None, 0L, None, 1L, 1L, 'Default', 6L, 'SH326087', 'EP3260870141', datetime.datetime(2006, 5, 4, 10, 31, 30), 1163673536L, 0.0, 1, datetime.date(2005, 3, 19), 0, 0L, 0),)] I want to replace every instance of 'tooth.seiner.lan' with 'localhost'. There may be lots and lots of these entries (they're pulled from my mythtv database). I could brute-force this by rewriting the whole thing and replacing every 9th element but there has to be a better way.... I've looked at various search-and-replace snippets but none that address what I am trying to do.... --Yan *I'm not really new to python, just very very rusty. Last time I used it was about 3 years ago, and I was equally clueless.... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
