Is that way okay? Sure. Are there other ways? Sure.
To isolate each replace() function on its own line, and to eliminate the
clutter of the backslashes, consider this:
rfpat = (fpat
.replace('.', '\\.')
.replace('%', '.')
.replace('*', '.*')
)
"Better" is going to depend on your initial reason for not wanting all
those function calls on one line. What is that reason?
