I think there might be a language issue here because you originally said "Why
is there no str.rreplace in Python?" which shows you already knew it didn't
exist. Did you mean to say you wanted to know *why* it didn't exist?

Even in that case, if searching for [python str.rreplace] didn't turn up
anything then chances are there was no proposal, which makes it a new idea
and thus belongs on python-ideas. Basically the rule of thumb is anything
considered new goes to python-ideas first.
