Have you tried: import string

return string.replace("flubbery", "flub", "shrub")

Alternatively you can use the under namespace:

return _.string.replace("flubbery", "flub", "shrub")

although you'll first need to go to the python script object's "Bindings" tab and bind _ as the namespace (which is the recommended value anyway).

I'm not sure if/why this is better than the way mentioned above, mind. :-)

Well the reason why I need this function is that I just discovered today that a username in Zope can contain spaces - and that's not a good idea when we create file names (in FS) from users login name ... Is spaces really allowed in usernames ? Regards, Gitte Wange
