[BangPypers] help me to fix this error

[Sidharth Kuruvila]

Hi,

Could you print the error message too. I don't have python 3 so i
can't run the code you posted.

A couple of quick pointers.

You don't need this line `#!/usr/bin/python`. That's for telling a
unix shell to use python to run the remaining code.

Yo don't need this line `from string import maketrans` because you
aren't using the string module.

Never do this `str = "this is string example....wow!!!";` You are
overwriting str which is the type object for strings in python.
Shouldn't be an issue in your code. But it's generally bad coding to
change built-in functions and variables. Use another variable name.

You can find out what methods are available on an object using the dir
function, `dir("hello")` will tell you the methods available for the
str objects. help("hello") will give you help on str objects.

Regards,
Sidharth
