[Tutor] string immutability

[Johan Martinez]

Hi,

I am struggling to understand Python string immutability. I am able to
modify Python string object after initializing/assigning it a value. So how
does immutability work? I am not following it. Sorry for really stupid
question. Any help?

<code>

>>> s = "First"
>>> print s.__class__
<type 'str'>
>>> print s
First
>>> s = "Second"
>>> print s
Second
>>>

</code>
