I know I can slice a string in Python by using array notation: str[1:6], but how do I splice it? i.e., replace str[1:6] with another string, possibly of a different length?

Definition and UsageThe slice() method extracts a part of a string. The slice() method returns the extracted part in a new string. The slice() method does not change the original string. The start and end parameters specifies the part of the string to extract.
Javascript splice is an array manipulation tool that can add and remove multiple items from an array. It works on the original array rather than create a copy. It 'mutates' the array. It doesn't work with strings but you can write your own functions to do that quite easily.
Slicing StringsYou can return a range of characters by using the slice syntax. Specify the start index and the end index, separated by a colon, to return a part of the string.
You can't do this since strings in Python are immutable.
Strings are immutable in Python. The best you can do is construct a new string:
t = s[:1] + "whatever" + s[6:]
