Python - difference between two strings

Question

I\'d like to store a lot of words in a list. Many of these words are very similar. For example I have word afrykanerskojęzyczny and many of words like afr

Answer 1

The answer to my comment above on the Original Question makes me think this is all he wants:

loopnum = 0
word = 'afrykanerskojęzyczny'
wordlist = ['afrykanerskojęzycznym','afrykanerskojęzyczni','nieafrykanerskojęzyczni']
for i in wordlist:
    wordlist[loopnum] = word
    loopnum += 1

This will do the following:

For every value in wordlist, set that value of the wordlist to the origional code.

All you have to do is put this piece of code where you need to change wordlist, making sure you store the words you need to change in wordlist, and that the original word is correct.

Hope this helps!
