"John" is the first parameter which is being replaced and "Bob" is the replacement string.

Use .replace(something, with_something_else).

from pypeg2 import *

def Try(String):

    grammar = 'John'
    String = String.replace(grammar, 'Bob')
    return String

f = Try("John plays football")

print(f)

Output:

"Bob plays football"
