Replacing last comma in 'C1, C2, C3' with 'and' so that it reads 'C1, C2 and C3'

[Cyril Bazin]

If that can help you...

def replaceLastComma(s):
i = s.rindex(",")
return ' and'.join([s[:i], s[i+1:]])

I don't know of ot's better to do a:
' and'.join([s[:i], s[i+1:]])
Or:
''.join([s[:i], ' and', s[i+1:]])
Or:
s[:i] + ' and' + s[i+1]
Maybe the better solution is not in the list...
