How do I place a variable in .replace() in python. For example:
x = 2
example = example2.replace("1", x)
I think its clear what I am looking for, I just have no clue how to do it.

9You need to call `str(x)`, you cannot replace a string with an integer. – Padraic Cunningham Jun 03 '16 at 00:17

My comments are based on Python v2.7:
In your code, "x" is assigned a integer value, they do not have replace method. Instead, if "x" had carried normal string, then replace is available and this is how it works:
var2 = "palindrome syndrome"
print var2.replace("drome", "pal", 2)
Output:
palinpal synpal
In the statement, var2.replace, there are three arguments: "drome" is the substring to find and replace with new string "pal" and do this for two occurrences of "drome".
