string.replace doesn't removes ":"

[Joshua Robinson]

Hi *Monte-Pythons*,

x = "this is a simple : text: that has colon"
s = x.replace(string.punctuation, "");  OR
s = x.replace(string.punctuation, "");
print x   # 'this is a simple : text: that has colon'
# The colon is still in the text !!!!

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

Cheers,
