[PyKDE] Eric3 recursive loop

[Dave S]

I have hit a problem with eric3 a couple of times, as an example the 
section of code

        file_yy=coded_str1[:4]
        file_mm=coded_str1[4:6]
        file_dd=coded_str1[6:8]
        file_HH=coded_str1[9:11]
        file_MM=coded_str1[11:13]
        file_jj=coded_str1[14:17]
        file_seq=coded_str1[18:21]
        file_code1=coded_str1[22:23]
        file_code2=coded_str1[23:24]

needs all instances of 'file' to be replaced by 'file1' so 'file_yy' 
becomes 'file1_yy' etc

Using replace 'file' for 'file1' Eric locks up hogging 100% CPU, I have 
to xkill to stop it.

My guess is that the replace code is trying to replace 'file' for 
'file1', then 'file1' for 'file11' etc etc, it does not seem aware of 
what it has replaced.

I get round this problem by

replacing 'file' for 'xxx'
replacing 'xxx' for 'file1'

that is until I forget & lock up eric !

Its pretty minor in an excellent IDE, but can be frustrating, especially 
when I have not saved recently ;-)
