Ethan Furman added the comment:
The .replace() method is not recursive (it only makes one pass through the
string), so for example:
>>> example = ' ' # three spaces
>>> example = example.replace(' ', ' ') # replace two spaces with one space
>>> example # should be two spaces
' '
>>> example = example.replace(' ', ' ') # replace two spaces with one space
>>> example # should be one space
' '
