You can get a long way with list of characters wrapped in list() and
"".join(). Seems to me like the main gotcha is to be careful with things
like:
>>> mutable_string = list("initial\nvalue")
>>> mutable_string[7] = "\r\n"
and make sure you do:
>>> mutable_string[7:8] = "\r\n"
(Although note that you have to spell find() and other string
methods "".join(mutable_string).find("value").)
