Problem with string.translate

[David Fuess]

I am using Python 2.0 and attempting to perform a string.translate.
The translate string is statically allocated in the setup phase. I
perform a

result = string.translate(source, ttab)

I have also tried

result = source.translate(ttab)

The error I get is that an internal library function in the string
module is calling a builtin function translate with too few arguments!
Is this an implementation problem in the new string class? I have
tried changing the library function, but then it generates other
errors. Please advise.

Thanks,
Dave
