[Jython-users] string.replace( java.lang.String )

[Oti <oh...@ya...>]

Hello,

I just stumbled over the following behaviour of string.replace().
Is it true I cannot pass a java.lang.String as first argument:

[appl|pwe] > jython
Jython 2.1 on java1.3.0 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import string
>>> from java.lang import String
>>> old = String( "old" )
>>> string.replace( old, "l", "d" )
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
  File "e:\jython21\Lib\string.py", line 409, in replace
TypeError: replace(): expected 2 args; got 3
>>> string.replace( old.intern(), "l", "d" )
'odd'


Best wishes, and thanks,
Oti.
