given that you cannot modify strings in place in Python, that comment
probably doesn't match what your code really did...
("s = f" doesn't copy the string, it just binds a new name to the
existing string object. "s = s.replace" doesn't modify that object;
it creates a new one, and binds the same name to that one in-
stead)
