I'm sorry, I could have used some examples to make my original email
more clear. What you're doing is using the replace() method of the
string object:

>>> s = "Helloo"
>>> type(s)
<type 'str'>

which has the first argument already "filled":

>>> s.replace('oo', 'o')
'Hello'

so you don't need to specify once again the string it operates on. In
the example you cited in the original email refers to the replace()
function of the string module:

>>> import string
>>> string.replace('Helloo', 'oo', 'o')
'Hello'
