Yup or even more modular;
import maya.mel as mel
side = "L"
mel.eval('searchReplaceNames "pSphere1" "%s_arm" "all"' % side)the other cool thing about string formatting this way, is you can do padded numbers from integers eg; 'rendername.%04d.png' %12 will result in 'rendername.0012.png' more info here https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html M.
