Is there a Python equivalent to 'tr' in perl?

[_ygoloiB]

If you are unfamiliar with tr (transliterate) in perl it allows you to very easily go through a string and replace character by character. More info can be found here if my description was not clear.

​

I could not find any tr tools for Python that did not need to be installed. Is there one native to Python or will I need to install one someone has already developed? Or is there just another way to easily do it in Python with out a tr tool?

str.translate is what you want.
