[Tutor] Best way to replace items in a list.

[Chris Hengge]

I'm trying to build a little piece of code that replaces an item in a list.

Here is a sample of what I'd like to do.

str = "This was replaced"

ff item in list:
   replace item with str

I know I can do list.remove(item), but how do I place str back into that exact location?

Is this how / best way?

if item in list:
   loc = list.index(item)
   list.remove(item)
   list.insert(loc, str)

Thanks.
