parse list recurisively

[andypu at zoho.com]

i have a list and i want to search for a certain string and replace it.

i think i got it now...

sbxe1 = list([['type','ter',[[[['lala']]]]],'name'])
def parsesb(lis, string, replacement):
	for num, nam in enumerate (lis):
		if type(nam) == list: 
			parsesb(lis[num],string,replacement)
		if type(nam) == str: # do something
			if nam == string: lis[num] = replacement
parsesb(sbxe1 ,'name', 'booooogyman')
print sbxe1
