Need Help with str.replace & tuples

[mikefromvt]

Hello.

I am very very unfamiliar with Python and need to update a Python
script. What I need to do is to replace three variables (already
defined in the script) within a string. The present script correctly
replaces two of the three variables. I am unable to add a third
variable. Specifically, I would like to add

"panoble",panoble

to the following code:

idxItemStr+=string.replace(string.replace
(idxItemTplStr,"stylenumber",stylenumber),"formalname",formalname)

and, specifically as regards

idxItemTplStr

Is this possible?

Thanks

Mike

This isn't going to win some contest of coding style quality, but you
may try this (for other people: I have not added any new variable name
on purpose):

idxItemStr += idxItemTplStr.replace("stylenumber",
stylenumber).replace("formalname",
formalname).replace("panoble", panoble)

Note that in Python names are usually written like this:
idx_item_tpl
Instead of:
idxItemTplStr
