No, strings are immutable. Once they're created, they cannot be changed. This is no different from: x = 42 x = x/2 # or x /= 2 if you prefer instead of: x = 42 x/2 As an alternative you could look at the UserString module, and the MutableString class it includes, but MutableString has some serious limitations and is not really meant for serious work. But it might do the job you want. -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
