Python Enhancement Proposal for List methods

[Bob Gailer]

Many of the features of python were added not out of need but rather for
convenience.

If need were the only criteria we could immediately get rid of
comprehensions, since they can be written as a series of for loops, the
same can be said for many other newer features.

Python is all about making the programming experience easier and more
productive. Expanding replace  from just strings to other sequences such as
as lists makes sense. The cost in time and effort to add this to python is
trivial.

I say go for it.
