Reconstituting Strings in Python
<p>I would like to do something like:</p>

<pre><code>temp=a.split()
#do some stuff with this new list
b=" ".join(temp)
</code></pre>

<p>where a is the original string, and b is after it has been modified. The problem is that when performing such methods, the newlines are removed from the new string. So how can I do this without removing newlines?</p>
